The first claps from your mother's hand
  Destroy your little wonderland
  You're asking for the reason
  Of this little acts of treason
  And it leaves a big black WHY
  In your clear blue childhood sky

  The first heartache brings you grief
  The one you love just takes a leave
  And no answer comes along
  When you ask what you've done wrong
  And it leaves a big black WHY
  In your clear blue teenage sky

You're old now and the big black skies
Made up from a thousand WHYs
Make you feel that you lived a lie
And leave another big black WHY

And when the roads of life have led
Your body to its final bed
Close to eternity your soul
A clear blue heaven is your goal
Then you leave a big black WHY
In the clear blue bereaved's sky
