I Wonder Why
Verse 1
I sit on the sidewalk,
Watching my mother in my arms.
I cry in her shoulder,
Wanting to feel her warmth.
But the rain has washed it away.
She’s gone with no goodbye.
It’ll be a while till I see her again,
So I still cry.
I wonder why.
Verse 2
I walk down the river,
Thinking of these memories;
How the fear made me shiver,
Waiting for her to come back to me.
‘Cause I can’t see through these tears;
Everything seems so blurry.
I can’t think straight without my mother here;
Everything is so frightening.
And I wonder why.
Bridge
The only person that ever loved me
Had to leave me alone.
And now the fear crawls up my spine every day
Just to be at home.
I wish I could be happy again.
Why did you go?
I didn’t want my life to be like this,
So depressing and cold.
And still I wonder why
Did God take you away
From my depressing life
‘Cause I needed you to stay.
I wonder why.
