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

I wish I had the words
The words to make it alright
But we're all looking for
A reason for our wars
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 andd rise up
From the sand
From the sand

I wish I had the why
I wish I had the why
