With lyrics adapted from Berton Braley’s poem of the same name, MEANINGWAVE is proud to present a new single…

WHY NOT

Why Not? is but one of hundreds of poems written by the perennial zone inhibitor and Appreciator Of The Wonder Of Being, and published in magazines and newspapers between the 1910s and 1940s. It is classic Braley, an anthem for the glory of man and all his achievements, past, and yet to come. And now you can sing it.

Oh, and that cover art there? That’s a picture of me back in ‘91 when I was around 11, which is my son’s age.

ENJOY!

LYRICS

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 Painter may paint
While his time's on the wing
And when 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 space 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?
