Why are you silent? And why does she think You don't care? All day she spent crying At night she was trying to hear that you cared Begging for mercy, acceptance, and grace A lighthouse to guide her way through the waves To see her reflection through her father's eyes And lower the scales of the worldly lies Verse 2 Lord she's forsaken and maybe forgot for things she's done She raised her voice and said words not choice, she's listening there The furnace of affliction has tested her strength On the palm of God's hand her name is engraved Before all time and to eternity There is a love that no one has seen Chorus Where were you when He laid the foundation? Tell me if you understand While the morning stars sang and the angels shouted Take your father's hand Trust in your father's (plan) Verse 3 The season of silence is broken by focus on herself Where is her joy wrapped up in a boy or something else? She's come to see that her joy is incomplete If she's always looking for others to beat Inside her soul it is playing the part The child of yesterday is still in her heart Chorus (x2) Leave off "plan" first time through.
