I woke up this morning, with the strangest of tidings
Millions of people, all over the world they just vanished
Could this be the rapture? The harvest of the saints of the Most High?
Then what am I still doing here?
Tell me, why? Oh why? Why have I been left behind?
Tell me, why? Oh why? What am I still doing here? Oh-oh
They've been raptured, I've been left behind, left behind
(Tell me, why? Oh why?) All the saints are gone
They've been raptured, I've been left behind, left behind
Tell me, why? Oh why?
I was the one who wrote a thousand songs, songs of adoration
Stood before a million, many times, I was proclaiming Your name
I gave my tithes and offerings, I gave my time to do your work
Surely, good God Almighty, You do, You do remember me?
Tell me, why? Oh why? Why have I been left down here?
Tell me, why? Oh why? What am I still do, do, doing here?
(They've been raptured, I've been left behind, left behind) tell me, why?
(Tell me, why? Oh why?) They've been raptured,
They've been raptured, I've been left down here (they've been raptured) oh
Oh (I've been left behind, left behind) Lord, have mercy
Tell me, why? Oh why?
Twas' I who traveled the nations, preaching the Word, bringing restoration
To a sick and dying world
I was casting out demons, raising the dead, healing the sick
All in the name of Jesus, surely You do remember me?
So then, tell me, why? Oh why? Why have been left behind?
Tell me, why? Oh why? What am I still doing here, Lord?
Padre, miserere nobis, oh, Padre, miserere nobis
Lord, have mercy
