Answers to LIfe's Questions

My mind has been burdened with thoughts of what will happen, what am I going to do, where am I going to do? Why can't I have answers? Why do more questions keep coming? Did the answers suddenly disappear? Why can't I be at peace? Why am I always so anxious?


Below is lyrics of a song. A dear friend loved the artist and her mother often shares lyrics of songs that are helping her with grieving the loss of her daughter and my friend. The song just touched me differently.


SOMEWHERE DOWN THE ROAD

By Amy Grant

So much pain and no good reason why
You’ve cried until the tears run dry
And nothing else can make you understand
The one thing that you held so dear
Is slipping from your hand
And you say

Why, why, why
Does it go this way
Why, why, why
And all I can say

Somewhere down the road
There’ll be answers to the questions
Somewhere down the road
Tho’ we cannot see it now
And somewhere down the road
You will find mighty arms reaching for you
And they will hold the answers at the end of the road

Yesterday I thought I’d seen it all
I thought I’d climbed the highest wall
Now I see the learning never ends
And all I know to do is keep on walking
Walking ’round the bend singing

Why, why, why
Does it go this way
Why, why, why

And all I can say
Somewhere down the road
There’ll be answers to the questions
Somewhere down the road
Tho’ we cannot see it now
And somewhere down the road
You will find mighty arms reaching for you
And they will hold the answers at the end of the road
