We rode into town the other day
Just me and my daddy
He said I’d finally reached that age
And I can ride next to him on a horse
but of course was not quiet as wide
We heard a crowed of people shouting
And so we stop to find out why
And there was that man
That my dad said he loved
But today there was fear in his eyes


So I said daddy why are they screaming
Why are the faces of some of them beaming
Why is he dressed in that bright purple robe
I’ll bet that crowns hurts him more than it shows
Daddy please, can’t you do something
He looks as though he’s gonna cry
You said he was stronger than all of those guys
Daddy please, tell me why
Why does everyone want him to die


Later that day the sky go cloudy
Daddy said I should go inside
Somehow he knew things would get stormy
Lord was he right
But I could not keep from wondering
If there was something he had to hide
So after he left I had to find out
I was not afraid of getting lost
So I followed the crowed
To a hill where I knew men have been killed
And I heard a voice that comes from the cross


And it said Father why are they screaming
Why are the faces of some of them beaming
Why are they casting that lots for my robe
This crown of thorns hurts me more than it shows
Father please, can’t you do something.
I know that you must hear my cry
I thought I could handle cross of these sides
Father remind me why
Why does everyone want me to die
Oh when will I understand why


My precious Son I hear them screaming
I’m watching the face of the enemy beaming
But soon I will clothed you in robes of my own
Jesus this hurts me much more than you know
But this dark out I must do nothing
Though I’ve heard your unbearable cried
The power in your blood destroys all the lies
Soon you’ll see pass their unmerciful lies
Look their be love see the child
Trembling by her father’s side
Now I can tell you why
She is why you must die
