[Intro]
Underneath the vast and silent sky
A hollow heart, a tearful eye
Waiting outside the sacred stone
A soul so lost and all alone
[Verse 1]
Year 30, seated by the tomb
Questions stir in silent gloom
Why did you send him, Lord on high?
Your beloved, the Lamb to die
[Pre-Chorus]
Looked up to heaven, eyes grew wide
An angel descending, by his side
Are you a rabbi, minister or priest?
His faith was tried, he sought relief
[Chorus]
Oh, why did He have to go?
In the dawn, the truth will show
A sacrifice, a love divine
A new beginning, a hope to find
[Verse 2]
The angel whispered, softly true
"Jesus came to save me and you"
A sacrifice for all our sins
A chance to start again within
[Pre-Chorus]
Master’s gone, but dawn will break
New hope rises, for His sake
As the night begins to peel
The promise that was made is real
[Chorus]
Oh, why did He have to go?
In the dawn, the truth will show
A sacrifice, a love divine
A new beginning, a hope to find
[Bridge]
Waiting till the morning light
Faith reborn, emerging bright
Sacrifice, divine and pure
Love that will forever endure
[Outro]
Underneath the silent sky
A soul emerging, healed and high
Dawn reveals what was foretold
A story of love, brave and bold
