Why?

Do you look down and laugh at what you find?
Your the only light

Why do you wait?

I'd need your answer
Why, lord, why, tell me why?
They killed your son and might kill mine
In these lonely days
Why, Lord, why, tell me why?

They spit on your name
But you don't mind
Not a new sign
I'd need your answer
Why, Lord, why, tell me why?
There's a reason why

They believe they could walk on the water
Playin' godsleep with the Devils daughter
Killed your son and might kill mine
Tell me father, why
There's a reason why
Father it's time
Can't you see they are mistreating their daughters
Open your eyes
Doin' everything darned as highest crime

But a strike that'll blow those fools away
Why, Lord, why, tell me why?

Forever lasting
Still it's time, turn the black into the light
Tell me father, why
How could you fail?
I'd need your answer
Why, Lord, why, tell me why?
There's a reason, why

Father it's time
Your the only light
If you've got any you just look for too long a time
But you don't mind
They believe they could walk on the waters
In these lonely days
Forever lasting
In these lonely days
