[Verse 1: Fozzey]
Never in his life has he felt so alone
As he walked across the street towards the unknown
Police tape was all that surrounded his home
He never thought he'd have to face this world alone
He saw his brother, with his face in his palms
He knew it was tragic but he played it calm
Two body bags lying on the front lawn
Had to be strong, no time to mourn
Holding in his tears he realised his fears
He'd have to face life without his peers
His mum and dad were gone, and sadly missed
He thought about putting razor to wrist
But he couldn't leave his brother, man, not like this
So he bared the pain, and clenched his fists
He looked to the sky with a tear in his eye
He repeatedly asked God the question, "Why?"
[Hook: Fozzey]
Why did you take my mum and dad
Don't you understand that they're all I had?
As I send you this, could you send a sign
Everything heals in due time
Every minute, every hour, every day
I pray that it didn't end up this way
But the pain is the hardest thing to deny
Could you please just answer my question, "Why?"
[Verse 2: Fozzey]
As he entered the house, he saw the scene
How could you do that to a human being?
He couldn't hold it in, he broke down and cried
He expressed all the feelings he could no longer hide
An officer grabbed him, to calm him down
Right as he picked up his mothers' gown
He saw the blood, and lost his composure
He couldn't comprehend why their lives were over
With his stomach in knots and the thought of gunshots
He couldn't bear the thought of his parents in a box
No cliché could express the pain
But this was his life, man, he couldn't complain
All the kid ever wanted was a reply
Every day that a tear occupied his eye
So he got on his knees and he looked to the sky
He repeatedly asked God the question, "Why?"
[Hook: Fozzey]
Why did you take my mum and dad
Don't you understand that they're all I had?
As I send you this, could you send a sign
Everything heals in due time
Every minute, every hour, every day
I pray that it didn't end up this way
But the pain is the hardest thing to deny
Could you please just answer my question, "Why?"
[Verse 3: Fozzey]
The day of the funeral came, it was still the same
No sign, no answer, no way
He mustered the courage and spoke to the people
He said, "I thought that we were all born equal
All I ever wanted was to show affection
With no one there, I lack direction
The person my parents said trust the most
Well they're never there, man, they're more than a ghost
As I stand up here, pouring out my soul
When all of the memories start to dissolve
Nothing in this world can fill the void
Of the memories that I have enjoyed
Mum and dad are gone, I've accepted that
But I can't accept the fact he won't answer back
So with all of us now, can we look to the sky
And maybe then he will answer why."
[Hook: Fozzey]

But the pain is the hardest thing to deny
Could you please just answer my question, "Why?"
[Outro: Fozzey]
All he ever wanted was an answer
But I guess some things are better left unsaid
So in the name of the Father
The Son, and the Holy Spirit
Amen
