《Why? (Recollection Album Version) (2000 Digital Remaster)》歌词

[00:00:00] Why? (Recollection Album Version) (2000 Digital Remaster) - Nichole Nordeman

[00:00:21] We rode into town the other day

[00:00:27] Just me and my daddy

[00:00:33] He said I'd finally reached that age

[00:00:39] And I could ride next to him on a horse

[00:00:46] That of course was not quite as wide

[00:00:50] We heard a crowd of people shouting

[00:00:56] And so we stopped to find out why

[00:01:02] And there was that man that my dad said he loved

[00:01:09] But today there was fear in his eyes

[00:01:16] So I said daddy why are they screaming

[00:01:22] Why are the faces of some of them beaming

[00:01:28] Why is he dressed in that bright purple robe

[00:01:34] I'll bet that crown hurts him more than he shows

[00:01:39] Daddy please can't you do something

[00:01:45] He looks as though he's gonna cry

[00:01:51] You said he was stronger than all of those guys

[00:01:58] Daddy please tell me why

[00:02:02] Why does everyone want him to die

[00:02:13] Later that day the sky grew cloudy

[00:02:19] And daddy said I should go inside

[00:02:25] Somehow he knew things would get stormy

[00:02:31] Boy was he right but I could not keep from wondering

[00:02:38] If there was something he had to hide

[00:02:42] So after he left I had to find out

[00:02:48] I was not afraid of getting lost so I followed the crowds

[00:02:58] To a hill where I knew men had been killed

[00:03:04] And I heard a voice come from the 'cross

[00:03:11] And it said father why are they screaming

[00:03:17] Why are the faces of some of them beaming

[00:03:23] Why are they casting their lots for my robe

[00:03:29] This crown of thorns hurts me more than it shows

[00:03:34] Father please can't you do something

[00:03:40] I know that you must hear my cry

[00:03:45] I thought I could handle the 'cross of this size

[00:03:52] Father remind me why

[00:03:56] Why does everyone want me to die

[00:04:02] Oh when will I understand why

[00:04:11] My precious son I hear them screaming

[00:04:17] I'm watching the face of the enemy beaming

[00:04:24] But soon I will clothe you in robes of my own

[00:04:30] Jesus this hurts me much more than you know

[00:04:35] But this dark hour I must do nothing

[00:04:41] Though I've heard your unbearable cry

[00:04:50] The power in your blood destroys all of the lies

[00:04:57] Soon you'll see past their unmerciful eyes

[00:05:03] Look there below see the child

[00:05:09] Trembling by her father's side

[00:05:15] Now I can tell you why

[00:05:24] She is why you must die
