Tell Me Why Lyrics by Christopher Smith

Amazing Grace (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2016

[MARY]
God, please say I’m dreaming
Tell me it’s not real
I must awake, I must escape
This emptiness I feel
Yet I always knew it could somehow end this way
That this world will tear us apart
And all these things I do
All the foolish prayers I prayed
Couldn’t change his unwilling heart
But how could you have let me love him?
Why, God?
You put this fire in my soul for him, why?
Only to deny the chance to share a life
Tell me why
Tell me...
Now another dark horizon
Another great unknown
And I am left to find the answers here on my own
But will I ever gaze into someone else's eyes
And feel that I felt with him?
When this world moves on and all the tears have dried
Will it heal this emptiness within?
And will I ever know the reason
Why, God?
You put this fire in my soul for him
Oh why?
Only to deny the chance to share a life
Tell me why
Tell me why
Tell me why
