letra de why not - akira the don

why shouldn’t the soul
of a mortal be proud?
life goes
it is true
like a swift-flying cloud
but while it’s still going
before he has died
a man may do many things
worthy of pride

the high and the humble
the meek and the brave
are all of them destined
in time for the grave
but while they are living
and drawing their breath
they may create something
that lives after death
the builder may build
and the singer may sing
the paintеr may paint
while his time’s on the wing
and whеn they are buried
deep down in the grime
the things they have made
will remain for all time
why shouldn’t the soul
of a mortal be proud?
life goes
it is true
like a swift-flying cloud
but while it’s still going
before he has died
a man may do many things
worthy of pride

man conquers the mountains
the seas and the air
and deserts turn gardens
while under his care
he does wondrous deeds
in the scant sp-ce allowed
why shouldn’t the soul
of a mortal be proud?
up out of the darkness
we reach to the light
and slowly through ages
we toil to the height
the soul of a mortal
is more than his clay;
the spirit of man
can defy all decay!
why shouldn’t the soul
of a mortal be proud?
life goes
it is true
like a swift-flying cloud
but while it’s still going
before he has died
a man may do many things
worthy of pride

so lift up your eyes
to the truth that is god’s:
in spite of disaster
in face of all odds
the spirit of man
is not wrapped in the shroud
why shouldn’t the soul
of a mortal be proud?
