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?

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') Appaipouré
