Oh don't ask why me, why me, why not me Why not me is the thing Don't ask why, life's running by me Live each moment that it brings Take the time to smell the roses Take the time to watch the stars Take the time to see your child grow Daddy now I know Daddy now I know Oh don't ask why me, why me, why not me Yes time is going fast I'm starting to question, what is life's intention Guess I've been too scared to ask But I'm letting go, to God in his wisdom Or whoever that may be Nobody knows who plans your future Or decides your destiny Oh don't say why me Oh don't say why me Oh don't say why me Life does the strangest things You never know What each moment can bring You turn around Your life has changed You've got to fight each round Yes take it on the chin No don't you ever give in Oh don't say why me, say "life just try me" And grow from all your tears Every obstacle before you Is a tool to face your fears Yes, now I know, it's time to slow down It's the sign to take control For too many years I've been a victim But Daddy now I know Daddy now I know Oh don't say why me Oh don't say why me Oh don't say why me You've got to fight each round take it on the chin And never never never ever give in You've got to fight each round take it on the chin And never never never ever give in
