Why? · 2 October 2003
I know it’s been said, “Only the good die young.”
On this I must agree
For just last night my baby up and died
Left me in misery
I just cried…
Chorus 1:
Why?
Do the good die young
Instead of those of us
Who just do everything wrong
Is it because
They don’t need a second chance
When they hear the music
They just get up and dance
But tell me, “Why?”
Did my baby leave me
Is it my punishment
Oh please don’t deceive me
Just tell me why.
I sat there in pain, in rage, and in sorrow
And everything in between
A mama’s/daddy’s not supposed to watch her baby die
Now what does my life mean?
I asked God…
Chorus 1
When the rage subsided and the sorrow faded
And the tears went dry
In the quiet of my empty room
I thought I heard God cry
And He asked me…
Chorus 2:
Why?
Can’t you learn to trust Me
Instead of doubting
Don’t you know I love you
Is it because
You don’t think it hurts me
I lost my Son too
Your loss is my misery
But tell me, “Why?”
Can’t you go on living
You’ll see your baby
Just keep on believing
Please tell me why.
I sat there stunned I didn’t think I had lost faith
But then maybe I had
My baby was in a better place now
Someday I won’t be so sad
Now I don’t ask…
Chorus 1
