I try so hard to make things right
But every day brings another fight
I give my best, I lose again
Lord, tell me why I live in pain

What am I doing wrong today?
Why does luck keep walking away?
I've prayed so hard, I've tried to be strong
But tell me, Lord, where do I belong?

What do You want me to become?
Why does the sunshine never come?
I'm tired of fighting all alone
Just show me I'm not on my own

I see the world passing me by
I ask my questions to the sky
When will You smile and set me free?
Why is this happening to me?

Maybe this pain will make me strong
Maybe I've been asking all along
I'll keep believing, come what may
And trust I'll find a brighter day

I don't need riches, I don't need gold
Just give me strength to face this road
When all my hope seems far away
Give me the faith to face another day

Why? Why won't You smile on me?
I've been fighting just to be free
What am I doing wrong? Please show me the way
Give me the strength to face another day

Oh, Lord, I'm calling through the night
Give me the courage to keep up the fight
I may fall, but I'll rise again
And see the sunshine after the rain

Why? Why won't You smile on me?
I've been fighting just to be free
What am I doing wrong? Please show me the way
Give me the strength to face another day

Oh, Lord, I'm calling through the night
Give me the courage to keep up the fight
I may fall, but I'll rise again
And see the sunshine after the rain

Maybe there's a reason I can't see
Maybe there's a plan for me
I'll keep on walking, I'll stand tall
I'll rise again each time I fall

I may not know what lies ahead
But I'll keep moving on instead
With faith and hope to light my way
I'll keep believing in a better day

Why? Why won't You smile on me?
I've been fighting just to be free
What am I doing wrong? Please show me the way
Give me the strength to face another day

Oh, Lord, I'm calling through the night
Give me the courage to keep up the fight
I may fall, but I'll rise again
And see the sunshine after the rain

Why? Why won't You smile on me?
I've been fighting just to be free
What am I doing wrong? Please show me the way
Give me the strength to face another day

Oh, Lord, I'm calling through the night
Give me the courage to keep up the fight
I may fall, but I'll rise again
And see the sunshine after the rain
