lyrics

WHY AM I STILL HERE
John Martin / Will Kimbrough

If I start to cry
I might not know why
I just can’t explain
Might be joy, might be pain
There’s so much inside
Feelings I can’t hide
Had to set them free
It was killing me

Why am I still here? Why do I live on?
I just have to ask With so many gone
I know there’s a reason But it’s never clear
So I have to ask Why am I still here?

Music feeds my soul Jazz or rock n roll
Showing me the way To see another day
So I Write another song It carries me along
One step at a time That’s the only way

Chorus

Friends and lovers come and go
For reasons I don’t know
I hope to see them all again someday

Inst 1/2 vs
We’re all gypsies in our souls
Too much Time out on the road
So I’ll just carry on
Hope the miss me when I’m gone

Chorus
