If you got the whole world in your hands
And this is really what you've planned
Well I turn the pages read the words in red
I still don't understand
Sat on the front row but I can't hear
Opened every window but it's still not clear
Asked for forgiveness, restoration for my soul
But I'm still full of fear
I know I've seen an angel
I know it made me cry
So when I look at heaven
Why do I keep asking why
I know the song comes from the east
I can't see the man but I've seen him move the trees
I move the mountains with the hours I spent praying
Down here on my knees
I know I've seen an angel
I know it made me cry
So when I look at heaven
Why do I keep asking why
The answer is just a whisper
And it flickers in the night
So when I look at heaven
Why do I keep asking why
And when I reach the golden boat
All of the answers to the questions will be told
Don't blame the garden or the apple that we took
I did the best I could
I know I've seen an angel
I know it made me cry
So when I look at heaven
Why do I keep asking why
The answer is just a whisper
And it flickers in the night
So when I look at heaven
Why do I keep asking why
Keep asking why ...
And this is really what you've planned
