Appaipouré

Why would a caged bird sing
Why would a mountain rise
Up from a pleasant spring
Into unsettled skies
Why would a cactus bloom
Sure that the rain won't come
Why would the people loom
Under a violent sun?

(Appaipouré)
When the sun is downing in the purple sky
(Appaipouré)
How the will of love will never question why
(Appaipouré)
And how can you see what has yet to become
When love is always hidden away?
(Appaipouré)
And something from nowhere is starting to hum
Singing life is the odyssey that guides me
Towards the eternity set free
(Appaipouré)

Why would the river flow?
Why would the old dog bark
If there was no way to go
To the end of a broken heart
Why would the children dance
Why would the widow grin
If love is a game of chance
Tell me why do we sink and swim?

(Appaipouré)
When the sun is downing in the purple sky
(Appaipouré)
How the will of love will never question why
(Appaipouré)
And how can you see what has yet to become
When love is always hidden away?
(Appaipouré)
And something from nowhere is starting to hum
Singing life is the odyssey that guides me
Towards the eternity set free
(Appaipouré)

It's no surprise that faithful eyes
Can light a passage through to the other side
(Appaipouré)
Open wide love is coming for you
(If you want it to it's coming for you, it's comin')
Appaipouré

Keep your wits the mirror slips
There's a mystery to what always is
(Appaipouré)
Open wide love is coming for you
(If you want it to it's coming for you, it's comin')
