Why am I alive?
Why am I here?
Why am I grieving
over what could have been?
Why am I hurting?
Why am I mad?
Why am I even
Breathing in oxygen?
This isn't about me
This isn't my body
This isn't my soul
For it was bought with a price
This isn't my home, no
This isn't an easy road
This wasn't supposed
To be one great easy ride
Why am I angry, Lord?
Why am I angry at You?
Lord, why am I angry
At this entire situation?
Why am I bitter, Lord?
Why am I bitter with life?
Lord, why am I bitter
Venomous with Your creation?
Teach me how to obey
Lord, please teach me to abide
Please teach me how to be
Loving, forgiving, and just like You
Teach me how to spread peace
Lord, please teach me gratefulness
Teach me to repent
Of all my trespasses against You
