I CLOSE MY EYES
AND LOOK UP HIGH
I ASK THE LORD
OH WHY, OH WHY
 
I CAN’T HOLD ON
I’VE LOST MY GRIP
I LOST MY WIFE
I LOST MY KIDS
 
I DON’T KNOW WHY
I’VE BEEN STRETCHED SO THIN
AND NOW I’M LOST, I’M LOST WITHIN
 
WHERE DID I GO WRONG
DO I JUST NOT, NOT BELONG
CAN YOU GIVE ME THE STRENGTH
CAN YOU MAKE ME STRONG
TO CARRY ON, TO CARRY ON
 
I’M HURT, IT’S JUST TO MUCH PAIN
JUST GIVE ME A HAND
AND HELP ME MAINTAIN
 
TRAGEDY’S STRUCK THROUGHOUT THE YEARS
IM SICK AND TIRED
IM OUT OF TEARS
 
WILL I EVER WIN
THIS VISCOUS FIGHT
WILL I EVER BEAT
THIS WAY OF LIFE
 
MANY TIMES, I STAYED STRONG
BUT I JUST DON’T KNOW
IF I COULD KEEP IT ON
THIS WHISKEY IS WHAT
KEEPS MY MIND NUMB
BUT I JUST
CANNOT CORRESPOND
 
I ASK THE LORD
OH WHY, OH WHY….
COULD ALL THIS SUFFERING
HAPPEN TO JUST ONE MAN
LOSE ALL HIS FAMILY
LOSE ALL HIS FRIENDS
 
ALL OF THIS
TO JUST ONE MAN
CAN’T I GET A HELPING HAND
 
A LIFE OF SIN
I NEVER LIVED
SO WHY, WHY, WHY, WHY…….
MUST I LIVE LIKE THIS
