Lyrics and Music by Jānis Lūsēns and Guntars Račs
Latvia / Eurovision 2010

I’ve asked my angels, why?
But they don’t know.
What for do mothers cry
And rivers flow?
Why are the skies so blue and mountains high?
What for is your love always passing by?

I’ve asked my uncle Joe,
But he can’t speak.
Why does the wind still blow
And blood still leaks?
So many questions now with no reply,
What for do people live until they die?

Chorus:
     What for are we living?
     What for are we crying?
     What for are we dying?
     Only Mr. God knows why.

     What for are we living?
     What for are we dreaming?
     What for are we losing?
     Only Mr. God knows why.

   But his phone today is out of range.

The sun in colour black
Is rising high,
The time is turning back,
I wonder why.
So many questions now with no reply,
What for do people live until they die?

Chorus:
     What for are we living?
     What for are we crying?
     What for are we dying?
     Only Mr. God knows why.

     What for are we living?
     What for are we dreaming?
     What for are we losing?
     Only Mr. God knows why.

     What for are we living?
     What for are we crying?
     What for are we dying?
     Only Mr. God knows why.

     What for are we living?
     What for are we dreaming?
     What for are we losing?
     Only Mr. God knows why.
     Only God knows why...
