Lord Tell Me Why Lyrics

You can find me at a bar on Friday night

Having a beer with my buddy Joe and pretending everything's alright

But later on when I'm back at our house

I feel the walls closing in on me and I wonder where are you now?

But I keep staring at this front door

Hoping you will open it wide

Why did you have to go so soon

Lord tell me why

Just tell me why

On the local news there's crime in our streets

Another tragic loss of life we can't get any relief

But I keep hoping the day will come

We put our differences aside

But until tell then I'll just keep asking

Lord tell me why

Just tell me why

There's so many things I don't understand

No matter how hard I try

But I'm leaving this in the palm of your hand

Until then Lord tell me why

Just tell me why

When the day comes when my soul is moving on

I'll get down on my knees and pray Lord please take me home

And I can't wait to see you again

And hold you one more time

Until then I just keep asking

Lord tell me why

Lord tell me why

Just tell me why
