Never Know Why - Lyrics

NEVER KNOW WHY

By: Derrick N. Ashong

This is a song for all the days

A little note to calm the waves

A word from the wise

To ease your every night

And sometimes although you pray

To keep uncertainty at bay

There at your pillow side she cries...

Sometimes a single ray of light

Echoes through the night

No matter what you know

You will never know why

The heart inside the fight

Softens by & by

No matter what you know

You will never know why

This is a song for all the brave

Who survive to tell them say:

"No one is greater than I"

And a song for those afraid

To hear the words they ought to say

Even just "goodbye"

Sometimes a single ray of light

Echoes through the night

No matter what you know

You will never know why

The heart inside the fight

Softens by & by

No matter what you know

You will never know why

Hear me cry

Kick it one time

Open your eyes to see this city of mine

Come check we dance yo

Just look at how we stand so

Unshaken by the wailing of a world that simply doesn't understand you

We cannot lie

Love or we die

I learned to sing a spirit stronger than I

And in my song blows

A mission more than ego

So listenin’ to the soul of every word you hear a brighter side of me grow

Deep in my heart

I knew it from the start

That the worries of this world

Could never drive our souls apart

Yet when I see you

Arisen from the sea blue

I cry into the whispers of the wind

That she should come & carry me too

Far far away

To sing another day

In a valley near to thee so you can hear me when I pray

But as she blows by

I'm greeted by a new sky

And find a hint of comfort in my heart

Though I may never know why
