If you've got the whole world in your hands And this is really what you've planned Well I've turned the pages, read the words in red I still don't understand Sat on the front row but I can't hear Opened every window but it's still not clear Asked for forgiveness, restoration for my soul But I'm full of fear I know I've seen an angel I know it made me cry So when I look at heaven Why do I keep asking why Well I know the sun comes from the east Can't see the wind but I've seen it move the trees I'da moved a mountain with the hours I spent praying Down here on my knees I know I've seen an angel I know it made me cry So when I look at heaven Why do I keep asking why The answer's just a whisper And flickers in the night So when I look at heaven Why do I keep asking why And when I reach that golden road All of the answers to my questions will be told I don't blame the garden or the apple that we took I did the best I could I know I've seen an angel I know it made me cry So when I look at heaven Why do I keep asking why The answer's just a whisper And flickers in the night So when I look at heaven Why do I keep asking why Keep asking why Keep asking why Keep asking why, why, why Keep asking why Keep asking why Keep asking why Keep asking why, why, why
