Lord, why must I cry?

"When I tried to understand all this, it was oppressive to me"
NIV Psalms 73:16

As we walk through our days looking at clocks
Does anything make much sense in our view?
Ev'rything we see seems a paradox
Nothing at all seems clear although it's true.

Nicest people seem to receive most pain
And bums seem to get all of the best breaks
And ev'ry time it's time to play, it rains
O God why are we cursed with all these aches?

Is it true judgement day will someday come?
Your sweet joy will repay us for all love
Seems that ev'ry time I follow your Son
Thunder sounds as lightning strikes from above.

And yet when I dwell on everything
Count my blessings; be happy in my rain
For a moment I enjoy, as angels sing
Then quickly I return to meet my pain.

I cannot understand why I must cry
These bitter tears just make me want to die.

Lord, why must I cry?
