Wondering Why (Music and Lyrics by Marcel du Preez)

I'm playing this guitar but I'm wondering why
I feel an empty burning inside
And every time I see a sign, I close my eyes
I'm wondering why
Wondering why

I listen to this song but I'm wondering why
An empty echo in my mind
And every time I see a sign, I close my eyes

Chorus
I'm trying to find a reason while everyone survives
Another drink I'm stealing from the bottle of my life
Trying to hide a feeling that no one seems to find
And everyone is smiling all the time
I'm wondering why
Wondering why

I'm swimming upstream and it's filled with my pride
All the people standing beside
And everyone holds up a sign, I see it now

Chorus
I'm trying to find a reason while everyone survives
Another drink I'm stealing from the bottle of my life
Trying to hide a feeling that no one seems to find
And everyone is smiling all the time
I'm wondering why
Wondering why

Chorus
Trying to find a reason (try to find a reason) while everyone survives
Another drink I'm stealing from the bottle of my life (from the bottle of my life)
Trying to hide a feeling that no one seems to find (no one seems to find)
And everyone is smiling all the time
I'm wondering why...
