Why Did You Keep Me?

[Intro]
In the silence of my soul, I ask the heavens why
Echoes of my pain, tears I can't deny

[Verse 1]
Once I stood tall, fearless and proud on my own
But life’s storms left me hollow, in shadows I've grown
Questions in my heart, whispers in the night
Why did you keep me here, in this endless fight?

[Pre-Chorus]
You saved me once from death’s cruel grip
Gave me a chance, a new life to script
Now I suffer in the dark, haunted by my past
Still I ask, Lord, why—will this pain ever pass?

[Chorus]
Oh, Lord, why did you choose me?
To carry this burden silently
A survivor turned to voice, a beacon of hope
Why did you keep me here, Lord, if not to cope?

[Bridge]
Through the night terrors and the endless fears
I hear your whispers, your love appears
In every scar, your purpose I find
A calling to comfort, a strength divine

[Outro]
So I stand in the storm, with faith in my heart
Knowing I’m part of your grand, divine art
Though I question, I believe, I am here for you
To speak for the silent, to show what’s true
