lyrics

in the waves that touched the shore
they found some poems that were yours
words that spoke of ocean floors
and repeated the question “what is this for?”

what is this for what is this for
i ask it everyday
to the trees, to the sky
to the wind and the leaves
no one knows no one knows

in the balance of calm and serene
i first heard the sea shells sing
they confessed songs of quiet miseries
and whispered their secret wonderings

they chanted “what is this for what is this for
we ask it everyday
to the trees, to the sky
to the wind and the leaves
no one knows no one knows

i found myself alone on the beach
lost in a world of small mysteries
asking questions with answers i don't’ need
but i still want to know, i want to know everything
i’m asking

what is this for what is this for
we ask it everyday
to the trees, to the sky
to the wind and the leaves
no one knows no one knows
