Lyrics by Morning Glories Drummer
Verse 1-
Did the leper have a name
Did he hope like the rest
Maybe a man of talents
or intellect possessed
Did he dream as a boy
Only to grow up sick
Cast out from the world
His wounds strays lick
Chorus-
Why is a race no one ever wins
Why is a story of only one word
Why is a puzzle of forgotten pieces
Why is a language no one has heard
Verse 2-
flip a coin a child is born
Only to meet hell or bliss
One child left in arms
One left dismissed
As one walks lights path
the other strays forgotten
Opportunity reaches for one
The other beat feeling rotten
Chorus-
Why is a race no one ever wins
Why is a story of only one word
Why is a puzzle of forgotten pieces
Why is a language no one has heard
Bridge-
The madman asked why and started to laugh, life’s biggest question made his life a joke. The leper and child forgotten are friends from his past, that watch coins drop in cups by suits walking past. You see whys forgotten are jokes for the kings, that rush by in suits dropping quarters in rings.
Outro/Chorus Repeat
