Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Why God
Do people have to die?
A daughter or a son
Sudden and so young
Long before their time
[Verse 2]
Why God
Do people fall apart?
A promise and a ring
Becomes a broken thing
A road that got too hard?
[Verse 3]
I don't understand
But I understand
[Verse 4]
Why God, I need You
It's why God, I run to Your arms
Over and over again
It's why God, I cling to Your love
And hold on for dear life
And I find, You are right by my side
[Verse 5]
Why God
Do we feel so alone?
Every single day
Fightin' through the pain
Hopin' there is hope
[Verse 6]
I don't understand
But I understand
[Verse 7]
Why God, I need You
It's why God, I run to Your arms
Over and over again
It's why God, I cling to Your love
And hold on for dear life
And I find, You are right by my side, oh
[Verse 8]
Give me a faith stronger than I have
I need to know when it hurts this bad
That You hold my heart when it breaks
And I'm not alone in this place
[Verse 9]
That's why God, I need you
Why God, I run to Your arms
Over and over again
It's why God, I cling to Your love
And hold on for dear life
And I find, You are right by my side
Always right by my side
Even here in the why, God
