Why me

(Verse 1) Waking up to this familiar pain Looking out my window at the falling rain Every dream I carefully made Seems to slowly wilt and fade Momma said that life would test my soul But I never thought I'd pay this toll Empty rooms and silent phones Facing all these nights alone

(Chorus) Why me, under this heavy sky? Why me, asking the question why? Why does every step feel so hard? Why is my heart so battle-scarred? Why me, why me, why?

(Verse 2) Zambian sun that used to warm my face Now I'm running in this lonely race Cousins rising, brothers flying free While I'm stuck here being me Copperbelt dreams have turned to dust In this struggle, in whom to trust? Counting cracks upon the wall Feeling like I'm going to fall

(Chorus) Why me, under this heavy sky? Why me, asking the question why? Why does every step feel so hard? Why is my heart so battle-scarred? Why me, why me, why?

(Verse 3) River of my tears could fill the Kafue Still don't know what I'm supposed to do Medicine can't fix this broken part Can't heal this wounded, aching heart Miss the laughter, miss the light Miss the days when things felt right Now I'm walking in this endless grey Wishing I could find my way

(Chorus) Why me, under this heavy sky? Why me, asking the question why? Why does every step feel so hard? Why is my heart so battle-scarred? Why me, why me, why?

(Bridge) Maybe someday I will understand Maybe someday I will stand On the other side of "why" With clearer vision in my eye But for now I sing this song Of where I don't belong

(Final Chorus) Why me, under this heavy sky? Why me, asking the question why? Why does every step feel so hard? Why is my heart so battle-scarred? Why me, why me... Why me, why me... Why?
