Intro

    

Verse 1

I walk this road a thousand nights With tears I try to hide 
Smiling for the world outside While breaking deep inside 
I prayed for strength to carry on But some days I feel weak
And every answer that I need Feels just beyond my reach

Verse 2

The weight of all these silent storms Is heavier each day
And sometimes all the faith I had Feels like it slips away
So I fall down on my knees tonight With questions in my soul
And the only words my heart can cry Are the ones I can't control

Chorus

Why me, Lord? Why this pain inside my heart? 
Why these battles I can't win Tearing me apart?
Why these roads so dark and long When I'm trying to believe?
Lord, I'm barely holding on But I still won't leave
Even when I don't understand And the night feels so long
I'll still whisper through my tears Lord, please take me home

Verse 3

I watch my dreams fall piece by piece Like ashes in the wind 
Every door I try to open Closed before I walked in
The friends I trusted walked away When the storms began to rise 
And the world kept moving forward While I drowned in silent cries

Verse 4

But somewhere in the brokenness A quiet voice remains
Telling me you're still the light Shining through my pain 
So I lift my tired eyes to you Through every doubt I feel
Even when my heart is torn Your love is still so real

Chorus

Why me, Lord? Why this pain inside my heart? 
Why these battles I can't win Tearing me apart?
Why these roads so dark and long When I'm trying to believe?
Lord, I'm barely holding on But I still won't leave
Even when I don't understand And the night feels so long
I'll still whisper through my tears Lord, please take me home

verse 5

Maybe every broken road Was meant to lead me here
To the place where all my pride Finally disappears
Maybe every silent prayer You heard through every tear
And the storms I thought would break me
Were the ones that brought me near
But my strength was almost gone And hope was hard to see
That's when grace was carrying The broken parts of me

Verse 6

You see the battles no one knows You hear the cries I never show
When faith feels weak and hope feels far Remind me who you are
Hold my heart when I can't stand Take my life inside your hands
Even in the darkest night I know you are my light 

Chorus

Why me, Lord? Why this pain inside my heart? 
Why these battles I can't win Tearing me apart?
If these roads Lead me Close To where Your mercy flows
Then I'll walk through every storm, wherever you may go
Even when I don't understand And the night feels so long
I'll still whisper through my tears Lord, You are my home

Verse 7

Even when I don't understand And the night feels so long
I'll still whisper through my tears Lord, you are my home
When the answers never come And my heart begins to fall
I'll remember through it all You were there through every tear
Through every broken call
And someday I will finally see The reason for it all
Why me, Lord?
