Why so happy little child, why?
Do you not see the pouring rain
That's flooding your life's river
And one day you'll know the pain
Because of the great, mighty deceiver?
Why so happy little child, why?
Do you see that your time has come
To walk that cold trail of ice and snow
Like a refuge far, far from his dear home
Whose spirit hangs so heavy and low?
Why so happy little child, why?
Do you not know that it's time to cry?
Have you been told yet another lie?
And the little child says:
Why so faithless?
