Watching through the window
I saw you seated at the table
Simon had invited you to dine
I saw him try to spite you
Where ever he was able
Glaring at you as he sipped his wine
I know what it feels like to be hated
And I know what its like to be despised
unlike me I know you don’t deserve it
Why won’t someone stand for what is right
Chorus
Why not me , why can’t I be the one to wash your feet
Why not here, when now one else
Will honor who you are
Why not now, when all these eyes
May never see the truth
Why not here, why not me, why not now
Stealing through the shadows
I slipped in and knelt beside you
Alabaster box in trembling hand
I felt their eyes upon me
Wondering what this girl would do
Would she waste a fortune on this man
Why do we pretend like we don’t know you
Sometimes we even act like we’re ashamed
I will choose to let my pride be shaken to the core
When noone else will take the risk
to boldly speak your name
