Why me?

Deeps 2003 (Maharashtra)



If you have to ask Why me ?
 When you're feeling really blue ,
When the world has turned against you
And you don't know what to do ,
 When it pours colossal raindrops
And the road's a winding mess ,
 And you're feeling more confused
 Than you ever could express ,

When the saddened sun won't shine ,
When the stars will not align ,
 When you'd rather be
Inside your bed ,
The covers pulled
 Above your head ,
When life is something
That you dread
And you have to ask Why me ? . . .

 Then when the world seems right and true , When rain has left a gentle dew ,
When you feel happy being you ,
Please ask yourself Why me ? then , too .
