the song Tansy Treewee is singing at the end of the story.
1.2 Why am I weeping?
1
They say everything, everything in nature
Moves in circles
Life and death and life and death
Now then why am I weeping?
Sometimes we weep for joy,
Sometimes it's grief
And nature moves in circles.
2
The dead of winter kills everything in reach
And spring creates life
Life and death and life and death
Now then why am I weeping?
My tears I shed for one who died,
So now it's grief
And nature moves in circles.
3
Every harvest is a killing
But a gift of life as well
Life and death and life and death
Now then why am I weeping?
Because he will never come back
Never come back to me
And nature moves in circles.
4
Can you see this bird, shot down,
Dead on the ground?
Life and death and life and death
Now then why am I weeping?
The bird has hatched its progeny
And what have you left for me?
And nature moves in circles.
5
That bird had died too soon,
Too early in its life
Life and death and life and death
Now then why am I weeping?
Because you also died too early
Ahead of time
And nature moves in circles.
6
You have to say good bye, let go
When winter comes
Life and death and life and death
Now then why am I weeping?
I cry to say farewell,
Because it hurts so much
And nature moves in circles.
7
Wherever you are, my friend
I hope you're happy now
Life and death and life and death
Now then why am I weeping?
To give you something for your journey
That reminds you of me
And nature moves in circles.
8
Is there still any sign of light left?
There must be hope in life
Life and death and life and death
Now then why am I weeping?
Because I hope you tell me to stop,
As you always did
And nature moves in circles.
