Verse 1
I know I’ve wandered far from You,
Chasing dreams that never came true.
Every road I took alone,
Led me deeper into stone.
I’ve made hearts bleed, I’ve lost my way,
I’ve traded love for empty praise.
And still, You watch me through the pain,
Your mercy falling like the rain.


---

Pre-Chorus
So I’m here, Lord, with my shame,
Calling softly on Your name…


---

Chorus
Why, oh Lord, must I break to learn?
Why must fire be the way I burn?
You split the sea, You turned the tide,
You fed the crowd, You gave us life.
So why can’t You make a way for me?
Lift the chains I cannot see?
You are God, the Holy One—
Why, oh Lord… why, oh Lord?


---

Verse 2
You made the moon, You hung the stars,
You breathe in dust and we become.
You turned the water into wine,
You healed the blind and gave them time.
If You can move the mountains high,
Then hear my trembling lullaby—
I’m only human, made of tears,
Still learning faith through all these years.


---

Pre-Chorus
If pain’s the road that makes me grow,
Then hold me close as I let go.


---

Chorus
Why, oh Lord, must I break to learn?
Why must fire be the way I burn?
You split the sea, You turned the tide,
You fed the crowd, You gave us life.
So why can’t You make a way for me?
Lift the chains I cannot see?
You are God, the Holy One—
Why, oh Lord… why, oh Lord?

Bridge (soft funk groove, reflective)
Maybe You’re silent ‘cause You’re near,
Maybe the pain is how You steer.
Maybe the night just hides the sun,
And grace will come when tears are done.
Still I’m asking, still I’m bowed,
Still I’m crying—hear me now.


---

Final Chorus (gentle build, choir enters)
Why, oh Lord, must I break to learn?
Why must fire be the way I burn?
You split the sea, You turned the tide,
You fed the crowd, You gave us life.
So why can’t You make a way for me?
Lift the chains I cannot see?
You are God, my only One—
Why, oh Lord… oh Lord, hear Your son.

Outro (spoken softly, like a prayer)
If this storm’s the path You chose,
Then teach me peace inside the blows.
I’m still Yours… still Yours.
Why, oh Lord…
