Wish I Had the Why (Shelly Fraley, BMI) I wish I had the why The why for every woe Cause we're all chasing ghosts Something we loved the most Lost along the way Looking for a reason why Why the dark comes out some days Why it takes your peace away and It breaks you down inside When your peace like a river runs dry like the desert land I've seen the darkness fall and rise up from the sand From the sand Wish I had the words The words to make it alright But we're all looking for a reason for our wars that words can't justify When your peace like a river runs dry like the desert land I've seen the darkness fall and rise up from the sand From the sand I wish I had the why When your peace like a river runs dry like the desert land I've seen the darkness fall and rise up from the sand From the sand When your peace like a river runs dry like the desert land I've seen the darkness fall and rise up from the sand From the sand I wish I had the why I wish I had the why
