Why? lyrics

Artist  : Nordman Nicole 
Song : Why?



 Send "Why?" Ringtone to your Cell 

 
We rode into town the other day

 Just me and my daddy

 He said I'd finally reached that age

 And I could ride next to him on a horse 

 That of course was not quite as wide

 

 We heard a crowd of people shouting

 And so we stopped to find out why

 And there was that man that my dad said he
loved

 But today there was fear in his eyes

 

 So I said daddy why are they screaming

 Why are the faces of some of them beaming?

 Why is he dressed in that bright purple robe?

 I'll bet that crown hurts him more then he
shows

 Daddy please can't you do something?

 He looks as though he's gonna cry

 You said he was stronger then all of those
guys

 Daddy please tell me why?

 Why does everyone want him to die?

 

 Later that day the sky grew cloudy

 And daddy said I should go inside

 Somehow he knew things would get stormy

 Boy was he right

 But I could not keep from wondering 

 If there was something he had to hide

 So after he left I had to find out

 I was not afraid of getting lost

 So I followed the crowds

 To a hill where I knew men had been killed

 And I heard a voice come from the cross

 

 And it said father why are they screaming?

 Why are the faces of some of them beaming?

 Why are they casting their lots for my
clothes?

 This crown of thorns hurts me more then it
shows

 Father please can't you do something?

 I know that you must hear my cry's

 I thought I could handle a cross of this size

 Father remind me why?

 Why does everyone want me to die?

 When will I understand why?

 

 My precious son

 I hear them screaming

 I'm watching the face of the enemy beaming

 But soon I will clothe you in robes of my own

 Jesus this hurts me much more then you know

 But this dark hour

 I must do nothing

 Though I've heard your unbearable cries

 The power in your blood

 Destroys all of the lies

 Soon you'll see past their unmerciful lies

 Look there below 

 See the child

 Trembling by her father's side

 Now I can tell you why

 She is why you must die
