Lyrics
[Intro]
It started in a time so far away
My mind felt like it had gone astray
I looked to heaven and began to pray
“Lord, heal my heart” I cried
And then deep within my head
Ideas rearranged and pulled ahead
Ones that before I had ignored
[Chorus]
Why, God? Why, God? Why, God, why?
Is this You or is my mind awry?
I feel connected, despite being rejected
What it means has gone over my head
Are you telling me continue to hope?
Or is my mind past the end of its rope?
[Verse]
First I had a dream in the middle of the night
I woke up in a stir with a giant fright
Then my phone’s alarms are finding songs to me new
Which pointedly imply a clue
And I always just seem to know
When this one person to me is close
[Verse]
One time I’m standing in a field
And prayers to God I start to yield
And instantly without delay
I see it and begin to sway
Because before me someone is standing
And it seems this person just finished teleporting
[Chorus]
Why, God? Why, God? Why, God, why?
Is this You or is my mind awry?
I feel connected, despite being rejected
What it means has gone over my head
Are you telling me continue to hope?
Or is my mind past the end of its rope?
[Verse]
I really desperately want help
And so to an experienced one I yelp
“How do I know? Is it God or is it faux?”
“Test it or ignore it”, I am told
But such advice, I cannot follow
The risk is way too high
And the assurance far too low
[Verse]
Later on down the line
A memento seems to shred and later become fine
I watch as machines and nametags spawn
And I just know it will happen in my thoughts
And sure enough my phone will always ding
At night sometimes I will have a dream
And later find it coming real
[Verse]
Later on down the line
A memento seems to shred and later become fine
I watch as machines and nametags spawn
And I just know it will happen in my thoughts
And sure enough my phone will always ding
At night sometimes I will have a dream
And later find it coming real
[Chorus]
Why, God? Why, God? Why, God, why?
Is this You or is my mind awry?
I feel connected, despite being rejected
What it means has gone over my head
Are you telling me continue to hope?
Or is my mind past the end of its rope?
[Verse]
Things keep happening
As I turn away
It seems that I just cannot stray
It seems God wants me to keep going
But what He wants me to do is so confusing
[Chorus]
Why, God? Why, God? Why, God, why?
Is this You or is my mind awry?
I feel connected, despite being rejected
What it means has gone over my head
Are you telling me continue to hope?
Or is my mind past the end of its rope?
[Outro]
I will follow you, God
I will follow you, God
Whatever it is you want
Help me to follow
But when it comes to this
There’s something that I miss
God please kindle the hope to a flame
Or remove it all the way
