Why

Creatures of ambition
We're here to conquer all
Men of our own making
Who are free to take a fall
Confounded by our wisdom
To the point of no return
We're teaching all the lessons
We ourselves have never learned

A little lower than the angels
Is the best we'll ever do
Unless we are discovered
By the One who holds the truth

So why would you wait
To be forgiven, free from your mistakes
This is your moment to stand and be amazed
So why, why would you wait

You can read it in the bible
Like it's written on the wall
Time is quickly passing
And we know it won't be long
Till we stand before our Maker
And we speak on how we've lived
And all He has created
Will be standing by to hear

Crying out for mercy
Will be all we can do
Unless we've been discovered
By the One who holds the truth

So why would you wait
To be forgiven, free from your mistakes
This is your moment to stand and be amazed
So why, tell me why would you wait

You can go back
To the day of your innocence
Now is the time
To bow to omnipotence

Tell me why would you wait
Tell me why

Hey, tell me why would you wait
To be forgiven, free from your mistakes
This is your moment to stand and be amazed
So why, tell me why

Oh, why would you wait
To be forgiven, free from your mistakes, hey
This is your moment to stand and be amazed
Tell me why would you wait

(Why)
To be forgiven and free from your mistakes
This is your moment to stand and be amazed
Tell me why would you wait...
