I Don'T Know Why
Lately each morning I wake wanting to cry
Trying to figure it out
Don't know why
Pondering the cause, recounting yesterday
The day included cooking, cleaning
Nothing significant, everything okay
In the morning, at noon, at supper watched the news
Oh my gosh, no wonder I have the blues
Most of the stories are tragic and sad
Some information makes me mad
Stories of tragedies, bombs that mame
Searching for clues for who to blame
Political people covering their lies
Political parties refusing to compromise
Both sides claim to be right
Not giving an inch, so on goes the fight
Come on Congress, get your act together
No one side has all the answers to make things better
Together we are stronger, divided we fall
Come off your high horses
You look silly, not tall
God must look down at us and shake His head
Men are fools, wish they would look to Me instead
Gosh, I feel better, now that I have had my say
I am going to get down on my knees
Hope you will join me to pray
