Why does a bird who's cage is open linger on?
Why does it wait to be scared away?
If I understood that, I would understand myself.

Why do the dolphins of Denmark keeping trying to kiss the hands of those adolescents boys?
The ones who murder them for ritual?
If I understood that, I would understand myself.

Why do we think we've changed the world,
when there is still genocide bleeding humanity?
If I understood that, I would understand myself.

Why does the body say yes?
Why does the mind say no?
If I understood that, I would understand myself.

If understood myself, I think I would understand the world.
