Title: Why the Sky Don’t Answer [Verse 1] Why’s the road so narrow when the load’s already heavy? Why’s the river run dry when the thirsty man’s ready? I asked the one up above, through the thunder and rain, He just sent more stones, more hurt, more pain. [Chorus] They love the shine of the gold, the weight of the chain, Count their coins while the broken ones drown in the rain. They look down from high places, perfect in their skin, Pretending the cracks ain’t there, pretending they never sinned. Oh Lord, tell me why You let the trials keep comin’, When the world’s already busy with its judgin’ and runnin’. [Verse 2] They smile with straight teeth and talk about grace, But step on the fallen, step on the face. The weak get the spotlight, the stumble gets seen, While the proud keep their halos polished and clean. They say “pull yourself up” like it’s easy to do, But never lend a hand, never walk in the shoes. [Chorus] They love the shine of the gold, the weight of the chain, Stack their treasures while the hungry ones cry out in vain. They point at the broken, say “that’s what you get,” Never see their own shadows, never show regret. Oh Lord, tell me why You let the trials keep fallin’, When the world’s already busy with its judgin’ and callin’. [Bridge] Maybe the fire’s the teacher, maybe the weight’s the test, Maybe the ones who judge are the ones who need rest. Maybe the struggle’s the mirror, showin’ who’s really small, Maybe the one up above ain’t silent at all. [Final Chorus – softer, almost whispered] They love the shine of the gold, but gold don’t love back, It don’t dry the tears, don’t fill up the lack. So let ’em keep countin’, let ’em keep their throne, I’ll walk through the trials with the truth I’ve been shown. Oh Lord, if You’re listenin’, just give me the strength, To carry the weight, to go the full length. ’Cause broke ain’t broken… No, broke ain’t broken at all. [End - 4:15]
