<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 | |||

Tell me how the story ends | |||
Tell me how the story ends | |||
Tell me how the story ends | |||
