[Verse 1]
My child, I gave you dawn
And the pattern in the rain
I wrote it in the marrow
In the seed and in the flame
You ask Me for a sign
While you turn from what you know
I have placed truth in your hands
Still you let it go
[Pre-Chorus]
Why do you close your eyes?
Why do you run from light?
I am not far away
I have been here all your life
[Chorus]
Why won’t you see Me?
Why won’t you see?
The truth I send you
Is standing plain to see
Why do you ask Me?
Why do you plead?
When I’ve been speaking
In the world you breathe
(Why won’t you see?)
(Why won’t you see?)
[Verse 2]
I left My fingerprints
On the stars and in your bones
In the breath you take at midnight
When you think you’re all alone
You call My name in sorrow
Then ignore the quiet ways
I’ve been answering your question
Every single day
[Pre-Chorus]
Why do you close your eyes?
Why do you run from light?
I am not far away
I have been here all your life
[Chorus]
Why won’t you see Me?
Why won’t you see?
The truth I send you
Is standing plain to see
Why do you ask Me?
Why do you plead?
When I’ve been speaking
In the world you breathe
(Why won’t you see?)
(Why won’t you see?)
[Bridge]
Look at the lilies
Look at the field
Look at the mercy
I have made you feel
I was not silent
I was not gone
I was in every answer
All along
[Final Chorus]
Why won’t you see Me?
Why won’t you see?
The truth I send you
Is standing plain to see
Why do you ask Me?
Why do you plead?
When I’ve been speaking
In the world you breathe
Why won’t you see Me?
Why won’t you see?
