I feel it in your eyes 

There's pain that covers up these lies 

Now you may look like me 

But it seems you're really different on the inside 

We used to keep our hearts safe 

We kept them safe and locked away 

But then we grew up learning 

That life could serve us in a better way 



And why? 

I'm asking you why? 



So what happened to your eyes 

I saw them wander just like mine 

So how did we come to see so differently 

After all this time 



And why? 

I'm asking you why? 



And why? 

I'm asking you why? 



If the sheep know his voice then tell me what is the choice 

For the ones who haven't heard and have no need to rejoice 

Father, help me understand 

'Cause I am just like him and Lord he's just like me 

We came from the same town and the same families 

But now he, he just won't understand 

Please Lord open up his eyes 

Can You open up these eyes? 



And why? 

I'm asking you why?
