Keep Asking Why - Nashville Cast, Jonathan Jackson

If you’ve got the whole world in your hands

And this is really what you’ve planned

Well I’ve turned the pages, read the words in red

I still don’t understand

Sat on the front row but I can’t hear

Opened every window but it’s still not clear

Asked for forgiveness, restoration for my soul

But I’m full of fear

I know I’ve seen an angel

I know it made me cry

So when I look at heaven

Why do I keep asking why

Well I know the sun comes from the east

Can’t see the wind but I’ve seen it move the trees

I’da moved a mountain with the hours I spent praying

Down here on my knees

I know I’ve seen an angel

I know it made me cry

So when I look at heaven

Why do I keep asking why

The answer’s just a whisper

And flickers in the night

So when I look at heaven

Why do I keep asking why

And when I reach that golden road

All of the answers to my questions will be told

I don’t blame the garden or the apple that we took

I did the best I could

I know I’ve seen an angel

I know it made me cry

So when I look at heaven

Why do I keep asking why

The answer’s just a whisper

And flickers in the night

So when I look at heaven

Why do I keep asking why

Keep asking why

Keep asking why

Keep asking why, why, why

Keep asking why

Keep asking why

Keep asking why

Keep asking why, why, why
