Lyrics
Why must children fall to bullets in the street?
Why must cancer hollow out the weak?
Why must tyrants laugh while the helpless fade?
Why is evil crowned, while the good are betrayed?
Why, Lord, why—do You stand afar?
Why let the innocent bear the scar?
We cry, we burn, we break, we bleed—
Do You still see? Do You still grieve?
Why must bombs erase a nameless town?
Why must children drown while powers drown them out?
Why must sickness tear the body apart?
Why must darkness choke the beating heart?
Why must bombs erase a nameless town?
Why must children drown while powers drown them out?
Why must sickness tear the body apart?
Why must darkness choke the beating heart?
We’re not puppets on a string—
We choose the knife, the crown, the ring.
Cain’s hands still rise, and Abel falls,
But the blood of Christ speaks louder than it all.
If You can halt the cancer, the blade, the crime—
Why this child, why this place, why this time?
Yet You entered in, You felt the cost,
The Cross still answers the world we’ve lost.
Why, Lord, why—still we scream Your name,
But the tomb was cracked, and the Lamb still reigns.
You hold each tear, You avenge each wrong,
The broken will rise with a deathless song.
Every sorrow will lose its sting,
Every wound undone in spring.
From graves and shadows, the chorus will rise—
The Lamb who was slain makes all things alive.
