I WANT TO KNOW
I sit and think and silently cry
Tell me God "Why do we have to die?"
Breath gone, eyes closed, darkness all around
No warmth to feel not even a sound.
I can`t imagine not being here
They say there is nothing to fear,
But I can`t leave my loved ones behind
And I`m not sure what I will find.
Can`t comprehend being gone for good
I`d stay on earth if only I could,
Eternity is never ending
Just as sure as my death is pending.
We live knowing we`re going to die
Sometimes it`s hard to bear, but I try
It`s hard to believe I won`t be back
It makes me sad and makes my mood black.
I`ll enjoy the beauty of God`s earth
Live life to the full for all I`m worth,
But I`ll still ask the question of why?
Hope God replies `Why we have to die`.
