Why Am I

Why Am I ©2006 Tim Martin and Dawnya Clarine

Inside I must have cried, no tears were ever shed
Wasn’t really living, gray thoughts in my head

Nothing, no one, mattered to me
Why go on, I just couldn’t see

CHORUS:
Forgotten how to laugh, forgotten how to cry
Floating along empty, watching life drift on by
Asking why, why…why am I?

You offered your hand, I was afraid
Thought about running, but your strength made me stay

You saw through to the one who is me
Showed me life is more than I remembered it could be

CHORUS:
Forgotten how to laugh, forgotten how to cry
Floating along empty, watching life drift on by
Asking why, why…why am I?

Bridge:
Now my laughter and tears often mingle in a day
Stepped out of the shadows, baby you led the way

You helped me find passion, helped me risk pain
Now I’m feeling, I’m loving, I’m living again

Final Chorus:
I’d forgotten how to laugh, forgotten how to cry
I’ve come back to life babe, I’m floating high
Not asking why… why, why am I

I’d forgotten how to laugh, forgotten how to cry
You helped bring me back, now I know why
Yeah I know why, why, why am I
Yeah I know why… I know why …
