Lyrics

Why don't we dare to dream
Of something that doesn't seem
To be attainable until the end of the lifetime
In spite of being within our reach in our prime

Why do we hesitate
To escape the shade before it is too late
Before we start to bemoan, to regret
That we refused opportunities we could get

I always wonder why
We don't wanna fly high
Up to the endless sky
Where fulfilment is nigh

I always wonder why
We let our lives pass by
With a heavy-hearted sigh
I always wonder why

Our time inevitably evaporates
Our days rush away like water through open floodgates
We take at heaven on earth a lustful glance
But we are too cowardly to take a chance

I always wonder why
We don't wanna fly high
Up to the endless sky
Where fulfilment is nigh

I always wonder why
We let our lives pass by
With a heavy-hearted sigh
I always wonder why

I always wonder why
We don't wanna fly high
Up to the endless sky
Where fulfilment is nigh

I always wonder why
We let our lives pass by
With a heavy-hearted sigh
I always wonder why

I always wonder why we have no will to take the lead
I always wonder why we don't get down to do a good deed
I always wonder why we have no will to take a chance
I always wonder why we let heaven on earth out of our hands

I always wonder why
We don't wanna fly high
Up to the endless sky
Where fulfilment is nigh

I always wonder why
We let our lives pass by
With a heavy-hearted sigh
I always wonder why

I always wonder why
We don't wanna fly high
Up to the endless sky
Where fulfilment is nigh

I always wonder why
We let our lives pass by
With a heavy-hearted sigh
I always wonder why

I always wonder why
We don't wanna fly high
Up to the endless sky
Where fulfilment is nigh

I always wonder why
We let our lives pass by
With a heavy-hearted sigh
I always wonder why
