rote kaaye ko hum he rotey kaaye ko hum
hona hai jo ho sad hote kaaye ko hum

cry cry itna cry karte hain kaaye ko
itna darte hain kaaye ko pal pal marte kaaye ko
why why aisa why waisa kyo hota
yu hota to kya hota jo hota hai woh hota
fly fly baby fly dekhein aa udh ke
dekhein baadal se jud ke dekhein phir na mud mudke
rote kaaye ko hum hain rotey kaaye ko hum
hona hai jo ho sad hote kaaye ko hum
ha raato ko na sote kaaye ko
cry cry itna cry karte hain kaaye ko
itna darrte hain kaaye ko pal pal marrte kaaye ko

chaar pal ka hain saanson ka kissa
kitna hai hissa isme aasuo ka soch lo tum
bachpan bita ek ik budha sa pal kisne dekha kal
to is pal ki kimat jod lo tum
rote kaaye ko ham he rote kaaye ko ham
rote kaaye ko hum he rote kaaye ko hum
hona hai jo ho sad hote kaaye ko hum
ha raato ko na sote kaaye ko

baate teri thik lagti hai raate kyo hamari jagti hai
ha laate ham kyo naa maare biti baato ko
bhulun main to mujhko tum lagaana ek chhaata
chubh jaaye to khinch lena kaanta na na no no no
puchhu main jo tujhse kabhi ke kyo kyo daata
dena fir se ek aur chaata kabhi nahi kabhi nahi
rote kaaye ko hum hain rotey kaaye ko hum
hona hai jo ho sad hote kaaye ko hum
ha raato ko na sote kaaye ko
cry cry itna cry karte hain kaaye ko
itna darte hain kaaye ko pal pal marte kaaye ko
why why aisa why waisa kyo hota
yu hota to kya hota jo hota hai woh hota
fly fly baby fly dekhein aa udh ke
dekhein baadal se jud ke dekhein phir na mud mudke
cry cry cry cry

Why weep, oh why, do we weep so?
What must be, will be, why mourn so?

Cry, cry, why cry so much?
Why fear so much, why die each touch?
Why, oh why, so this, so that?
If this, then what? What is, is that.
Fly, fly, baby, fly, watch us soar,
See us join clouds, then turn no more.
Why weep, oh why, do we weep so?
What must be, will be, why mourn so?
Yes, nights we don't sleep, why so?
Cry, cry, why cry so much?
Why fear so much, why die each touch?

Four breaths, a tale, a fleeting space,
How much of tears in this, embrace?
Think, now, of this.
Childhood gone, each aged pause,
Who saw the morrow, through time's laws?
So value this now, this bliss.
Why weep, oh why, do we weep so?
Why weep, oh why, do we weep so?
What must be, will be, why mourn so?
Yes, nights we don't sleep, why so?

Your words ring true, yet why our nights awake?
Why not strike down, the past we make?
Forget, and you, a slap bestow,
If stung, then pull, the thorn let go, no no no.
Ask you then, why you chide me so?
Then give another, slap, never, no.
Why weep, oh why, do we weep so?
What must be, will be, why mourn so?
Yes, nights we don't sleep, why so?
Cry, cry, why cry so much?
Why fear so much, why die each touch?
Why, oh why, so this, so that?
If this, then what? What is, is that.
Fly, fly, baby, fly, watch us soar,
See us join clouds, then turn no more.
Cry, cry, cry, cry.
