(M. Riperton R. Rudolph)
|
|
The reasons for my life are in a million faces
|
Like aching promises I feel them in my bones
|
Slipping through my fingers to dance upon the road
|
The reasons for my life are more than I can hold
|
But oh, the sweet delight to sing with all my might
|
To spark the inner light of wonder burning bright
|
You're not alone
|
You're not alone
|
|
The reasons for my life are buried in deep places
|
Words once could awaken them
|
these seeds that I have sown
|
Ringing through the madness to crash against the cold
|
The reasons for my life cannot be bought or sold
|
|
The reasons for my life are filling all my spaces
|
Like rushing waters flow, they carry me along
|
Twisting through my memory to pull free from the load
|
The reasons for my life are more than I was told
|
