Why Am I Here?

In this quiet room where shadows linger I trace the silence with my finger Broken whispers of a dream deferred Asking questions yet unheard Why does the wind know where to blow? Why do these fears inside me grow? Caught in the riddle of my own heart's maze Finding comfort in the haze Why am I here? Do you know? Underneath the skin a faint echo Wearing a smile that's just for show Why am I here? Let it snow Watch the clock as it ticks and tocks Each second whispers what I've lost In the mirror a stranger's face Searching for a saving grace Why do the stars hide from my sight? Why does the day run back to night? Wading through this endless grey Hoping to find my way Why am I here? Do you know? Underneath the skin a faint echo Wearing a smile that's just for show Why am I here? Let it snow let it snow let it snow In the depths I hear a call Fighting through this shadowed pall Maybe there's light I'm meant to find Or am I just lost in my mind? Why am I here? Do you know? Underneath the skin a faint echo Wearing a smile that's just for show Why am I here? Let it snow let it snow In whispers low the night will speak Of the strength found when we're weak Underneath the facade the truth will roar Still wondering why am I here?
