Just Wonderin' Why Lord
Wonderin’ Why
Eighty years…goin
Strong…What has God against me
To let me live so long?
My friends and family are gone
Have shed this earthly vale…
Why do I tarry on?
Could death be no more
Than mere metamorphisis
A breaking of a brand new dawn?
Why me…alone O Lord
Am I punished or am I blessed
Why allow me to live so long?
Eighty years in this vale of tears
And still no end in sight
What am I doing wrong…or right?
…why do I live so long?...
