Lyrics of Why strive

Verse 1
Have you ever seen a haughty cloud proud of its position in the sky
Do mountain ranges tower high to remind us of our lesser size
Have canyons grand and oceans wide rivaled over bragging rights
Do land and sea vie for boundary
Is it foolish to believe they think on better things

Chorus
Why do we strive
And work so hard to gain the world
Why must we try to prove our worth
To rule the earth, why strive

Verse 2
Does saturn wear her rings to flaunt her wealth around the universe
Do comets dash the sky to make us stare
Has morning ever picked a fight with an up-and-coming moonlit night
And why on earth are there so many stars
Could it be wrong to think it's just because there are

Chorus
Why do we strive
And work so hard to gain the world
Why must we try to prove our worth
To rule the earth, why strive

Bridge
Is our planet green with envy
Of a sun, red with jealousy
Over stars who burn for so much more
What's it for, why do we fight
Clash and collide and agonize
Why do we strive, why do we fight

Chorus
Why do we strive
And work so hard to gain the world
Why must we try to prove our worth
To rule the earth

Why do we strive
And work so hard to gain the world
Why must we try to prove our worth
To rule the earth, why strive

Why do we strive, why do we fight

We labor, we labor in vain (repeat)
We work so hard, we work so hard (repeat)
