Lyrics
Why am I here what's the deal
Expressing confusion about the purpose of existence and questioning the situation.
Why did I shed all those tears
Reflecting on past emotional pain and wondering why tears were shed.
Should've thanked God when I came out
Regretting not expressing gratitude to God upon entering the world.
Why did I cry when I popped out
Questioning the emotional response at birth and the reasons for crying.
Got thrown into this world and I thought I was lonely
Feeling isolated and lonely in the world, questioning relationships and family.
Who is this, who is that, what is a family
Questioning the concept of family and relationships.
Why am I here, tell me why did they choose me
Seeking answers about the purpose of existence and why one was chosen to be here.
What is the catch no you will not fool me
Expressing skepticism and a desire to understand the hidden motives behind existence.
What just happened was I snatched from my home
Feeling a sense of displacement and questioning if forcibly removed from a previous home.
I was having fun just being alone
Reflecting on the enjoyment of solitude before being thrust into the unknown.
Who are they should I call them my own
Uncertainty about identifying others as family.
Why did I get thrown to the unknown
Questioning the reasons for being placed into an unfamiliar environment.
Why am I here what's the deal
Reiterating the confusion about the purpose of existence.
Why did I shed all those tears
Recalling past emotional pain and the shedding of tears.
Should've thanked God when I came out
Expressing regret for not expressing gratitude upon entering the world.
Why did I cry when I popped out
Questioning the emotional response at birth and the reasons for crying.
I look around and see
Observing others who share similar circumstances and experiences.
All the kids like me
Noting the commonality among children facing adversity.
No roof, no food, nothing to do
Describing a challenging environment with no basic necessities.
Just waiting for the day that their bodies are through
Contemplating a future where others may not survive their hardships.
Then I feel embarrassed from all of those tears
Feeling ashamed of past tears and questioning the source of fear.
That came running down my eyes what did I fear
Reflecting on personal luck or fortune in comparison to others.
Somehow I won the lottery and I'm here
Acknowledging a fortunate situation but questioning its legitimacy.
Did I take this from someone or did I steal
Reflecting on the possibility of benefiting at the expense of others.
So what's my mission. On this planet
Pondering the purpose or mission in life on this planet.
Should I be great before reaching my casket
Considering the idea of achieving greatness before facing mortality.
I owe that to God who gave me this basket
Expressing a sense of gratitude towards God for the opportunities received.
But what if greatness just won't be my habit
Contemplating the possibility that greatness might not be an inherent trait.
