“WHY…WHY” was born in a moment I think most of us recognise: you genuinely try to do the right thing—and it still backfires. You help. You show up. You give time and energy you didn’t even have to spare. You carry responsibility that wasn’t yours to begin with. And then somehow the story turns. A tone changes. A narrative shifts. Your intentions get questioned. Your kindness gets treated like duty. You’re left feeling misunderstood, blamed, or taken for granted.

The hardest part isn’t only what happened. It’s what it does inside you.

For me, the “why” starts as a tightness in the chest. A restless loop in the mind. Replaying conversations. Building a case in my head. Thinking of what I should have said. Wondering how people can take what you offered freely and still make you feel like the problem. It’s anger mixed with embarrassment. It’s tiredness mixed with disbelief. And it’s the quiet fear that if I don’t defend myself, the wrong version of the story will win.

That’s when I realised I wasn’t only fighting what happened out there—I was fighting a storm in here. And it was stealing my rest.

This song belongs in the COME REST album because it’s not about getting even. It’s about getting free. It’s the moment I stop running the courtroom in my mind and take my questions to God without pretending I’m fine. Not a polished prayer—an honest one. The kind you breathe out when you don’t know what else to do.

“Why…Why” is where I lay down the need to control the outcome, the need to force clarity, the need to make people understand. It’s choosing to trust that God sees the full picture—more than I do—and that He can carry what I can’t.

Sometimes the miracle isn’t an instant answer. Sometimes the miracle is peace returning—so I can sleep, so I can breathe, so I can keep my heart soft. That’s the landing place of this song: I bring the “why” to God… and I come rest.
