I was cruising along out on the highway
Was I driving my life in the right way?
Did I want to be just driving my way?
And I wonder why I'm on the byway
Oh yeah

I wonder why
-Yo I wonder why
Wonder why
-Come on I wonder why
Wonder why
And wonder why

I wonder why the slow hard way is safe
I wonder why the people didn't leave the race
Am I embracing the road or am I the one embraced?
Is the bright light ahead of salvation and of grace?

I am watching the cars as they start speeding
The highway it travels fast and now people are bleeding
They missed the turnoff because they weren't seeking
And I wonder why so I start praying
Oh yeah

I wonder why
-Yo I wonder why
Wonder why
-Come on I wonder why
Wonder why
And wonder why

I wonder why the slow hard way is safe
I wonder why the people didn't leave the race
Am I embracing the road or am I the one embraced?
Is the bright light ahead of salvation and of grace?

Yo the faster you go yo the bigger the mess
But did you know that it is your eternity at risk
Quick chills, small thrills throw in a couple of beers
Believe it or not but there is a bigger reason you're here
So slow down and face the fact that life is not a race
And start to wonder why you were put here in this place

I wonder why
I wonder why
-Yo I wonder why
Wonder why
-Come on I wonder why
Wonder why
And wonder why

I wonder why the slow hard way is safe
I wonder why the people didn't leave the race
Am I embracing the road or am I the one embraced?
Is the bright light ahead of salvation and of grace?
