Questions Not Asked
What was it like when the first baby cried?
What did they do when it died?
How did it feel when the first lover sighed?
Or when love might have been then denied!
Was it frightening to witness the first drop of rain?
Do you think it may have caused people pain?
I guess these are questions that no one thinks to ask
Because they're just part of the past
What did they do when the first snowflake fell?
Did they think that their heaven was now hell?
And what did they make of the thundering skies?
Could it be they were under a spell!
And when stars were a-fallin' did they know they had died?
Or think that they had simply come untied!
I guess these are questions that no one thinks to ask
Because they're just part of the past
How many men went to fight the first war?
How many men did they kill?
Did they find all the answers that started it all?
Did they care for the ones who had fell?
And what did the mothers do when sons did not return?
You'd think that from this one time we might learn
But I guess these are questions that no one thinks to ask
Because they're just part of the past
