Version One


Why and How Come?

Why do grasshoppers hop
And butterflies fly?
Why can't I touch
The stars in the sky?

Where does the moon go
When I am asleep?
Where does God take
My soul to keep?

When will we be there?
I have to go pee!
When do we eat?
Are you listening to me?

How come that bird lives
Up in that nest?
It's naptime already?
I don't want to rest!

Who are the bedbugs?
And why do they bite?
How do I keep them
Off me at night?

I hear a monster
Under my bed.
Why can't I sleep
With you, instead?

Mommy, I'm thirsty!
Please read me a book!
I still hear a monster!
Could you take a look?

Why am I sleepy?
Is it my turn to pray?
Can I have a hug?
"No more questions," you say.

Version Two


Why and How Come?

Why do grasshoppers hop
And butterflies fly?
Why can't I touch
The stars in the sky?

Where does the moon go
When I am asleep?
Where does God take
My soul to keep?

When will we be there?
I have to go pee!
When do we eat?
Are you listening to me?

How come that bird lives
Up in that nest?
It's naptime already?
I don't want to rest!

Who are the bedbugs?
And why do they bite?
How do I keep them
Off me at night?

I hear a monster
Under my bed.
Why can't I sleep
With you, instead?

Mommy, I'm thirsty!
Please read me a book!
I still hear a monster!
Could you take a look?

Why am I sleepy?
Is it my turn to pray?
Can I have a hug?
"No more questions," you say.


Version Three


Why and How Come?

Why do grasshoppers hop and butterflies fly?
Why can't I touch the stars in the sky?

Where does the moon go when I am asleep?
Where does God take my soul to keep?

When will we be there? I have to go pee!
When do we eat? Are you listening to me?

How come that bird lives up in that nest?
It's naptime already? I don't want to rest!

Who are the bedbugs and why do they bite?
How do I keep them off me at night?

I hear a monster under my bed.
Why can't I sleep with you, instead?

Mommy, I'm thirsty! Please read me a book.
I still hear a monster! Could you take a look?

Why am I sleepy? Is it my turn to pray?
Can I have a hug?
         "No more questions," you say.

Version Four


Why and How Come?

Why do grasshoppers hop and butterflies fly?
Why can't I touch
the stars in the sky?

Where does the moon go when I am asleep?
Where does God take
my soul to keep?

When will we be there? I have to go pee!
When do we eat?
Are you listening to me?

How come that bird lives up in that nest?
It's naptime already?
I don't want to rest!

Who are the bedbugs and why do they bite?
How do I keep them
off me at night?

I hear a monster under my bed.
Why can't I sleep
with you, instead?

Mommy, I'm thirsty! Please read me a book.
I still hear a monster!
Could you take a look?

Why am I sleepy? Is it my turn to pray?
Can I have a hug?
"No more questions," you say.
