I still believe there's a Grand Design,
But there's no more faith in a love Divine.
Why did God put a curse on me and mine?

Death snatched my husband from my side.
His Golden Years were supposed to be mine.
I still believe there's a Grand Design.

I held her hand while everyone lied,
From coma to death was a short, flat line,
Why did God put a curse on me and mine?

They called it an unsolved homicide.
One child had to die was the bottom line.
I still believe there's a Grand Design.

My child stood tearless as her daughter died.
I cried to see our nightmares align.
Why did God put a curse on me and mine?

Her lover is missing; he might have died.
She'll give birth alone and lie "I'm fine."
I still believe there's a Grand Design.
Why did God put a curse on me and mine?
