Tan Huat Chye

Why must they all lie?
Why must they deny?
The words that He had said,
And the Eightfold Way.
Why do they close their minds
And choose to be so blind?
Thro’s birth, and death and change,
Round they will go again.

CHORUS:
Round and round they’ll go again,
Round they’ll go again.
Down and down they’re burnt in flames,
Down they’ll go in pain.

Why do they deafen their ears?
Why do they not hear?
The words of love and peace,
From the Master’s seat.
Why have they blinded their eyes
To the tears of life?
And round they’re bound in chains,
Round they’ll go in pain.

(CHORUS)
Why must they all fight?
Why must they all strive
So hard and heedlessly
In Samsara Sea?
Why do they find no delight
In the Dhamma’s light?
And evil falls like rains,
In pain they go again.

(CHORUS)
