One of the most nakedly open songs I have written. Written for my friend Kimberly who was a musical buddy of mine and one of my closest friends. She lost a battle with cancer in 2009 and it greatly affected me, and I still miss her.

lyrics

Explain it to me
She did nothing wrong
Eplain it to me
It seems unreal she's gone

It's been some years I know
And still I cannot find
The peace to let her go
I'm grieving all the time
Explain it to me

I keep hoping there's some purpose
That I don't understand
Some higher good that's served
Some holy mighty plan
Explain it to me

Not a day goes by
She doesn't cross my mind
Things still left undone
But now we're out of time
Explain it to me

I can no longer pray
It seems to do no good
I look in vain for answers
I'd find them if I could
Explain it to me
