Tobias Edlund - Why Not Me Lyrics

When I think of my life
I've been pretty good
I love both God and people
I do the things I should. Yeah!
So why this tragedy?
I just wonder, why me?
Am I a bigger sinner?
Have I done something wrong?
Is heaven out to get me?
Has God left me all alone?
It's all a mystery
I just wonder, why me?
But why not me?
Children suffer all around
Why not me?
Evil is everywhere to be found
Why not me?
Why would I be a favored child of God?
So when suffering comes my way I'll cry
Why not me?
All that's happened lately
Can't be coincidental
One thing after another
Like it's supernatural
It's all a mystery
I keep wondering, why me?
But why not me?
Children suffer all around
Why not me?
Evil is everywhere to be found
Why not me?
Why would I be a favored child of God?
So when suffering comes my way I'll cry
Though I won't receive exemption
I know one day I'll see redemption of this world
The enemy will be defeated
And I'll find my life completed in my Lord
The battle is without and within
If I loose faith then evil wins
I won't, I won't let go.
No I won't, I won't let go
So why not me?
Children suffer all around
Why not me?
Evil is everywhere to be found
Why not me?
Why would I be a favored child of God?
So when suffering comes my way I'll cry
Why not me?
Children suffer all around
Why not me?
Evil is everywhere to be found
Why not me?
Why would I be a favored child of God?
So when suffering comes my way I'll cry
Why not me?
Why not me?
Why would I be the favored one?
Why would I be the only one?
Why not me?
