Why, Vol. 1

Hanging on a wing a prayer
Since the first kiss of the sun today
So many hearts dangle on nearly severed threads
As the cycle of life plays its vicious game
Overwhelmed by how quickly things can change
Lying dormant, in limbo, it should be me, not you
Just yesterday you were being taken for granted
Now time is running out
Please know my love is true

What can I say or do
When the angels have come for you
What can I say or do
When a loved one's time is through
Tell me you will fight until the bitter end
Tell me your hope will never fade away
So many are counting on the warrior
To slap away the hand of judgement day

You were born with a heart of gold so helpless
Drowning in torture and cloaked in misery
One minute slowly turning into a lifetime of what if's
And knowing your pain takes my soul right out of me

All these wishing wells are rapidly running dry
Darkest hours are never eclipsed by the brightest light
Resurrection will carry you to a better place
Even though it takes you away from existing life

So many memories make it so hard to breathe
The hands of time are stealing precious life
Daylight is passing over another lost here
And all I want to know is the reason why

As I seek rapture from answers that can't be found
Wondering how life can leak from a vibrant soul
I just want to know what is the reason why
Something so simple is never in your control
