MORE QUESTIONS
James Salvo / Danny Myrick

It all started when Momma died
Anger filled my innocent eyes
When Daddy said she’s gone
God took her home
Well I thought home is where we are
Not some place beyond the stars
I just couldn’t believe
He could need her more than we do

Wheels were turning in my mind
All the hows and all the why’s
Certainty just turned to doubt
They say time will work things out
I try to make it all make sense
Is it just coincidence
Or feathers blowing in the wind
Yea, maybe that’s the lesson
Life’s just way more questions than answers

Summer I turned 23, a few thousand American boys and me
Highlands of Viet Nam, missing home and missing mom
Decades of years gone now but there’s not a day I don’t think about
Those lost buddies of mine and the ones they left behind

Wheels were turning in my mind
All the hows and all the why’s
Certainty just turned to doubt
They say time will work things out
I try to make it all make sense
Is it just coincidence
Or feathers blowing in the wind
Or maybe that’s the lesson
Life’s just way more questions than answers

And I’ll never find out until this hourglass runs out
And I’m standing face to face with the maker of this place
I’ll finally get my chance to look him in the eye and ask
Maybe in that moment, I’ll understand

Wheels are turning in my mind
All the hows and all the why’s
Certainty still turns to doubt
They say time will work things out
I try to make it all make sense
Is it just coincidence
Or feathers blowing in the wind
Maybe that’s the lesson
Life’s just way more questions than answers
