That single string single string single string single string That single string single string single string single string Why am I why am I Why am I why am I The moon asked the stars Why did you stay awake all night The sky asked the earth Why did you cry why did you sleep This single string of the heart says There is something that meets If you are then I am If I am then you are At the turn of life This question arose from the heart Why did you choose this path Why did you complete this dream
