I've finally found the answer,
To the lifelong question "Why?"
Why were you given your life?
Why is it that you must die?

I could give a long explanation,
If the answer was there to be found.
But the circles that i would be spinning
Would turn around and around.

I'll ask my question once more
My curious question "Why?"
Why do I smile when I'm happy?
Why when I'm sad do I cry?

I would give a wonderful answer
If ever an answer there was.
But, my friend, the answer I'm giving
Is simply this; "BECAUSE"

So ask me just once more
Ask me your own question "Why?"
And the answer that I will give you
Is "Because, that's why!"
