We Were Born Because it Was Logical
At the base of a mountain in a faraway country, the purest water in this world gushed forthSoon, it became a river in which schools of fish gatheredThey were eaten by starving bears, who were skinned by a hunterHe sold their pelts at the market and bought a hair ornament for his daughterWicked people came and took everything awayRight at the middle of history, during the era when God too was a babyThe tears shed by a mother soaked the earth smelling of ashesThey evaporated after being charred by the sun, and turned into polluted rain clouds
These clouds crossed the ocean and made rain fall on a desert which had been dry for 5 monthsA poet who survived by drinking the rain water returned to his country of birth and sang a songBy the time children who hummed it were recruited and sent out to the front-linesA girl's whose head was blown off became dust and returned to the earth, without anyone knowing about that
Great trees which grew up there were chopped down to build a townWe were born with dirty faces by the time dark smoke rose through the skySome people are killed by well-intentioned people, while others manage to earn a living with their bad intentionsOther lives were saved because they stayed spectators, we were born because it was logical
The values crucified on skyscrapers are shedding tears of bloodBecause people whose only virtue is consumption all throw stones at themThe paintbrush of a painter who draws paintings that never sold was smashedHe lives below the overhead rail tracks where a train full of vain people travelsSongs are made to fit people, categorizing all their emotionsWhen you feel sad, listen to this song, the ones who are lonely should listen to that songIf you start doubting, not wanting to be deceived, you come to think everything is dodgyWhen you can't trust people anymore, you're categorized as being mentally sick
My unhealthy heart is starving and yelling out it wants to see more tragediesA stranger who found a just cause decapitates without feeling guiltyMurders, adultery, religion, and the popular storesSchool bullying, the TV dramas at 9 PM, war and the hit chart
These are stones everyone stumbles on, but since everyone thinks they're specialA boy who wasn't chosen stood up, tightly grasping a knifeIf the throng in front of the train station where anonymity is taken for granted was dyed in redIt's because the sunset was beautifulWe were born because it was logical
We're still struggling at the end of this foolish historyWe don't understand anything after all, and only talk about forgiving or not forgivingThe criminals who got death penalty, the wicked pretending to be saintsThe sinful you, and me too, one day we'll all become dust and return to the earth
If flowers are to bloom on top of it, that would be enough to repay the worldIf people are going to love each other there, that would be enough to give value to this worldThat's why you should at least love people, love them your entire lifeWe were born because it was logical, in this good for nothing world
