Lyrics
V1
I sit down with my coffee
Grab the morning news
Right there on the front page
Was a crash on highway two
Three lives are gone forever
And a hundred more are changed
With tear filled eyes and heavey hearts
We try to lay the blame.
chorus;
Sometimes I wonder why things have to happen
Sometimes it seems like you don't hear our call
Sometimes it hard to find a single reason
Sometimes it seems like you don't care at all
V2
She puts them in their jammies, tucks them into bed
Sits down and tells a story
And strokes their tiny heads. How will she ever tell them

The cancer that's inside her
Will be taking Mom away.
Chorus:
V3
When God looks down upon us
And reaches out his hand
His heart is breaking with us
But he'll help us understand
That all things have a purpose
And later he will show
Just have faith in his actions
And in Heaven we will know
But sometimes I wonder why things have to happen
Sometimes it seems like you don't hear our call
Sometimes it's hard to find a single reason
But sometime you will make sense of it all
Our faith will help us make sense of it all
