Jersey on the Wall (I’m Just Asking)

There's a jersey on the wall In a high school gym in my hometown In the corner by the scoreboard Where the bleacher seats fold down 27 took the Tigers to the finals that year But that's not why it's hanging there If I ever get to heaven You know I got a long list of questions Like how do You make a snowflake? Are You angry when the earth quakes? How does the sky change in a minute? How do You keep this big rock spinning? And why can't You stop a car from crashing? Forgive me, I'm just asking I bet somewhere there's a yearbook In a box under a bed With a senior picture missing And loving memory instead And somewhere there's a mother Who stopped going to church 'Cause Your plan quit making sense down here on earth If I ever get to heaven You know I got a long list of questions Like how do You make a snowflake? Are You angry when the earth quakes? How does the sky change in a minute? How do You keep this big rock spinning? Why couldn't You stop that car from crashing? Forgive me, I'm just asking Oh, I'm just saying You don't have to answer now Oh, but someday If I ever get to heaven I got a long list of questions Like how do You make a snowflake? Are You angry when the earth quakes? How does the sky change in a minute? How do You keep this big rock spinning? If You got Your hands on everything that happens Then why couldn't You stop that car from crashing? Forgive me, I'm just asking I'm just asking
