INTRO (out of time):
You are told to accept 
All that happens to you 
But how can I abide 
When it makes me so blue

It changes my life
My mood, my relations
It’s a spot on my soul
Of my own creation

OH'S:
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh ooooooh

VERSE 1:
Howled into my pillow, 
Bawled all night and all day
I beseeched God for help, 
but he led me astray

Wherever it came from,
One thing is for certain
I did not even love him
Barely cared for his person 

Was he being truthful?
Was he being unkind?
Was he being deceitful?
I’ll know in due time

Why was I so foolish?
Why was I so dumb? 
It led me to a battle 
that cannot be won.

CHORUS:
(Singer riffs over “ohs”)
Oh oh, oh oh
oh oh, oh ooooooohhhh

VERSE 2:
So then why am I left
With this gift so sublime
Makes it hard to connect
With a power divine

My uncle Mike once chided me
“Girl, don’t ask those questions.
Can’t ask why, who, how
cuz God won’t make concessions

Instead, Ask God, plainly
Help me to understand
Help me see why this happened
And then you’ll see His plan

So, dear Lord, open my eyes 
‘Cuz there ain’t no clear reason
Why you’d abandon me so
And commit such treason

CHORUS:
(Singer riffs over “ohs”)
Oh oh, oh oh
oh oh, oh ooooooohhhh

BRIDGE:
Ooooh, oooh, ooooh, oooh 
Ooooh, oooh, ooooh, oooh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oooooooh

VERSE 3:
Perhaps there’s some good reason
Unbeknownst to me
That God wants me to know
To understand and let be

Or perhaps there’s nothing
Life is full of caprices
Perhaps things just happen
And you pick up the pieces the pieces

CHORUS:
(Singer riffs over “ohs”)
Oh oh, oh oh
oh oh, oh ooooooohhhh
