I Don't Understand

I don't understand
          Why people hate
          Why dreams don't come true
          Why boys will be boys and
          Why round balls come in square packages
But most of all
          Why I have to be happy to be happy
          Why people just can't leave me alone and
          Why grown-ups won't imagine
What I understand most is
          Why the sky is blue
          Why the grass keeps growing
          Why the band keeps marching and
          Why love can't conquer all
