Why seems to be what I demand.
Can there be a reason for mountains of pain?
When "What is the lesson?" helps me understand.
What do you mean, forgive? Strike up the band!
Are you telling me it's my choice for bitterness to remain?
Why seems to be what I demand.
How could this have been planned?
Don't You see our strife and strain?
When "What is the lesson?" helps me understand.
Recognizing that humility is the command,
This takes a long time to retrain my brain.
Why seems to be what I demand.
Showing up with joy and peace as my brand,
Because that is how loving others becomes a chain.
When "What is the lesson?" helps me understand.
While fear can pull me under, like sinking sand,
Casting all my anxieties on You, may my loss be Your gain.
Why seems to be what I demand,
When "What is the lesson?" helps me understand.
