<poem>
I don't know what I can say to you
Nothing I say feels like it is true
I am so sorry for how things were
I wish that you could be happier


Nothing works that way
Nothing works that way
Lions have to kill
Zebra have to die
Mothers sweat and slave
Still their babies cry
Everyone is suffering
Pain is all this life can bring
Tell me how the story ends
Maybe in some other universe
Being alive doesn't have to hurt
Things turn out just how we feel they should
No one is ever misunderstood
But, nothing works that way
Nothing works that way
Lions have to kill
Zebra have to die
Mothers sweat and slave
Still their babies cry
Everyone is suffering
Pain is all this life can bring
Tell me how the story ends
Be happy, if you can
I wish the best things for you
Be happy, if you can
I'll always love your soul
Lions have to kill
Zebra have to die
Mothers sweat and slave
Still their babies cry
Lions have to kill
Zebra have to die
Mothers sweat and slave
Still their babies cry
Everyone is suffering
Pain is all this life can bring
Tell me how the story ends
Tell me how the story ends
Tell me how the story ends
</poem>
