Why not?

There's a tree that provides shade, 
We try to help it with a spade,
It bears fruit and helps skies rain, 
to suffice our hunger and pain,
A day shall come when it will fall, 
we will make a statue tall,
Why not let it bloom and blossom, 
when we know that it's awesome?

There's a dog that wags its tail, 
maybe step on it or put a pail,
He shall nag and moan and cry, 
but he will never bark at you "why?"
A day shall come when he will die, 
will you mourn or just let a sigh?
Why not let him know that he's loved, 
when he barked at the crowd?

There's a cloud that brings us waters, 
to keep alive our sons and daughters,
Would we sing and ask it to go, 
set our sails and into oceans row?
A day shall come, lands are all desert, 
will you just end with the dessert?
Why not let the rain soak and sink, 
we are the planet blue, not pink.

Hear them tree and dog and cloud, 
rustle and bark and thunder loud,
God is in life of every form, 
God is the sun and God is the storm.
Wake up from the illusory dream, 
before the futures shout and scream,
Why not we live by letting life live, 
when it's all we got that we can give?
