-Verse One-

I wanna know why pain makes me stronger

I wanna know why good men die
Why am I so afraid of the dark but I stray from the light?


-Verse Two-

I wanna know why You gave me eyes when faith is how I see.

Tell me, is it easier to doubt or harder to believe?
Oh so many questions stiring in me.



[Chorus]
And I'm wondering why.

Sometimes the truth ain't easy to find.
I want to know all the answers, but I'm learning that;
These things take time, yeah

These things take time.



-Verse Three-

How can success make us feel like failures?

And the harder we fall the harder we try
The more I have the more I need just to feel like I'm getting by.
Oh so many questions in one short life.



[Chorus]

And I'm wondering why.
Sometimes the truth ain't easy to find.
I want to know all the answers, but I'm learning that;

These things take time, yeah
These things take time.



{Bridge 1}
And we spend so much time

Chasing our tails
Hopin' to find
Every last answer

To everything in life.
So many questions
Not enough time...



[Chorus]

And I'm wondering why.
Sometimes the truth ain't easy to find.
I want to know all the answers, but I'm learning that;

These things take time, yeah
These things take time.



{Post Chorus}
We all want to understand why;

Evil lives and good men die
On the way to Heaven the truth unwinds.
These things take time

These things take time
Yeah, these things take time.
