Because.
(this is just a `stood alone` part of a sadder poem)
I`m singing because...
I get so happy at the kindnesses folk do,
At the way the summer sunshine glory lights
The young girl`s eyes, the old man`s silver hair,
White walls, and all the thousand things men make,
That the sheer gladness over-swells my heart
And only a jubilate sets it free.
I sing sometimes, Just for the sake of the singing,
(But mainly for the song`s sake).
I`m singing because...
...I`m a singer.

It's an intriguing aspect of human happiness that when it
occurs it is invariably accompanied by the desire to
sing a song, or whistle or hum a tune. There is something
wonderfully intangible about the need for the tangible.
Make light of strife
Sing along with life!
