Why

Lord, why? That's the normal question I cry Why me? I don't know how to be She was my mother I have no other Who is going to help tie my shoes Or put a band-aid on my bruise What about when I start to like boys Instead of little girly toys Who is going to teach me about make-up And comfort me after the break-up Love me through the years Dry away all my tears Lord, why? I didn't want her to die Don't you know I need her I wish things could be the way they were My feelings were all a mix After all I was only six I know it was in your time But it felt like such a crime I will be okay Because you answer me when I pray Although I don't have mine I've got one that's oh so fine She's loved me all along I guess you knew that we belong Thank you for this gift It's a load that you lift I might still ask why But at least I won't cry Because you didn't leave me on my own You gave me someone, so now I'm not all alone To you I will be greatful And always faithful
