[Verse 1]
I wonder deep down in my heart
Why this world has made a change
My friends who say they love me
Somehow they don't act the same

[Verse 2]
Been travelling o'er this road of life
No peace for day, no rest at night
But I've got a friend called Jesus
He knows the reason why
Oh, yes, the reason why

[Verse 3]
God knows the reason why
Every burden, every toil, and every strife
Ooh, God knows the reason why
Oh, the tears shed from my еyes

[Verse 4]
Yes, He knows whеn I'm right
Oh, He knows when I'm wrong
But I have His assurance
God knows the reason why
Oh, yes, He knows the reason why
