If you've got the whole world in your hands
And this is really what you've been
Well, I've turned the pages, read the words in red
I still don't understand
Sat on the front row but I can't hear
Opened every window but it's still not clear
Asked for forgiveness, restoration for my soul
But I'm still full of fear
I know I've seen an angel, I know it made me cry
So when I look at heaven, why do I cry?
Why do I keep asking for more?
I know the sun comes from the east
I can't see the wind but I've seen him move the trees
I'd have moved a mountain with the hours I spent praying down here on my knees
I know I've seen an angel, I know it made me cry
I know I've seen an angel, I know it made me cry

So when I look at heaven, why do I keep asking why?
The answer's just a whisper, flickers in the night
So when I look at heaven, why do I keep asking why?
And when I reach the golden...
And when I reach the golden road
All of the answers to my questions will be told
Don't blame the garden or the apple that we took
I did the best I could
I know I've seen an angel, I know it made me cry
So when I look at heaven, why do I keep asking why?
The answer's just a whisper, flickers in the night
So when I look at heaven, why do I keep asking why?
Keep asking why?
Keep asking why?
Keep asking why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
