Questions - Jon McLaughlin

Katy stands at the top of the stairs

As shes leaving her father stares

What has she come to

Another boy she runs to tonight

Powerless he just shakes his head

Disappointed and off to bed

But he won't be sleeping

Cause the hours she's keeping are not right

Shes asking a question how will I be

After this next one eventually leaves me

How can a man be all that

They say when all that I know

Is men run away

I think I lose just a little bit

Of me in every man that I see

Dannys been out now for 7 days

Funny how he thought the price had

Been paid on a past he hates to talk about

Its everything wrong about him

He goes back home to a battle field

And starts to drink as some kind of a shield

For the anger instilled in him

And their looks are killing him now

He's asking a question

How will I be when It comes down

To the end and memories still haunt me

How can He have forgiveness

That flows when no one forgives me

Yet its Jesus they know

I think I lose just a little bit of

Me in this family that won't see

A crowd of confusion gathers

Round watching the light as he slowly goes out

After all they've talked about

Everythings coming out now

Their anger turns to dead and gone

Hearts start to feel what feels so

Wrong and as the time starts passing by

And hours turn to days in their

Heads they can still hear Him say

I came for your questions

Of what you don't know

But you can't see the answers unless I go

So give me your hatred and give your diseased

Give me your tired and I'll take them with me

Cause I'm hanging here losing every part of me

Just to open your eyes to

What you would never see

And to answer your questions

There's no place that I'd rather be
