Why

Why do the wicked seem to sprout and flourish
As justice falls from our sight?
Ungodly schemers walk about so freely
To frustrate all that's good and holy

Sometimes it looks like they're gettin' off scot free
That doesn't seem right to me
When evil struts without reservation
It's time to have this conversation

Why so downcast, O my soul?
Put your hope in God
He's the only one with perfect goodness and control
So put your hope in God, alone, O my soul

How long, O Lord will You stay silent?
Or maybe I've just become
The man with scales that block my vision,
Whose ears and passions are numb

Why so downcast, O my soul?
Put your hope in God
He's the only one with perfect goodness and control
So put your hope in God, alone, O my soul

When foolishness has its way
Lord remind me there is coming a day
When my foolishness has its way
Lord remind me there is coming a day

Why so downcast, O my soul?
Put your hope in God
He's the only one with perfect goodness and control
So put your hope in God, alone, O my soul
