Why Child?

Why so happy little child, why?

Do you not see the pouring rain

That's flooding your life's river

And one day you'll know the pain

Because of the great, mighty deceiver?



Why so happy little child, why?

Do you see that your time has come

To walk that cold trail of ice and snow

Like a refuge far, far from his dear home

Whose spirit hangs so heavy and low?



Why so happy little child, why?

Do you not know that it's time to cry?

Have you been told yet another lie?



And the little child says:

Why so faithless?
