Why was I born? Why am I livin'? 
What do I get? What am I givin'? 
Why do I want a thing I daren't hope for? 
What can I hope for? I wish I knew 

Why do I try to draw you near me? 
Why do I cry? You never hear me 
I'm a poor fool, but what can I do? 
Why was I born to love you? 

Why was I born? Why am I livin'? 
What do I get? What am I givin'? 
Why do I want a thing I daren't hope for? 
What can I hope for? I wish I knew
