From the recording Are You Ready
Lyrics
I can't wait for the screaming to stop
Can make a man blind if he hears that too much
Some pray to Jesus and say, "now I'm alright"
Well if you're praying, do you know why?
Dress my pain with a smile and a joke
Life, like a leaf, down the river we float
They say there are answers written way in the sky
Well, I can't see that high
It always happens to me, and I just don't know why
Can't justify reasons, but the Lord knows I try
It always happens to me, and I just don't know why
Can't justify reasons, but the Lord knows I try
Another day, another life slips away
One gets set free, and the other survives
So I close my eyes, and I walk out in the rain
Hide my tears, and try to act brave
I look to the clouds, but even they cry
There are faces in the water and they're aII asking why?
It always happens to me, and I just don't know why
Can't justify reasons, but the Lord knows I try
Oh why?
