THE REASON FOR REASON

© words and music
Nathan Thom, 2004

IF EVER I WAS THE LONELY ONE
IT WAS ME TILL I MET YOU
CAUSE YOU WERE ALWAYS THE ONLY ONE
WHO WAS DETERMINED TO SEE ME THROUGH
WHEN I WAS DOWN YOU WERE THERE FOR ME
TRYIN' TO PULL ME FROM THE FIRE
LIKE THE HELPING HAND THAT A FATHER GIVES
YOU WERE WITH ME ALL THE WHILE

- CHORUS -
YOU'RE THE REASON TO GET IT RIGHT
YOU'RE ALL THE REASON THAT I NEED
YOU'RE THE REASON THE FLOWER TURNS
FROM THE SUN INTO THE SEED
YOU'RE THE REASON TO GIVE MY LIFE
TO A POWER BEYOND CONTROL
YOU'RE THE REASON FOR REASON
THE POWER OF LIGHT
YOU'RE THE SON OF MAN I'M TOLD

THIS OLD WORLD CAN BE HARD ON YOU
IN A DARKENED HOUR OF NEED
BUT YA LEARN THE MOST IN A DARKENED HOUR
IF YOU TAKE THE SAVIORS LEAD
IT IS DOUBTFUL STILL THAT THE HUMAN WILL
CAN PRODUCE MUCH MORE THAN HATE
WITHOUT COUNSEL OF THE ONE WHO'S CHANGED
THE TWISTED HAND OF FATE

- CHORUS -

YOU'RE THE REASON FOR BALMY NIGHTS
AND A SUNSET'S SOFTENED GLOW
YOU'RE THE REASON FOR CHRISTMAS LIGHTS
AND THAT SANTA CLAUS IS SO
YOU'RE THE REASON THAT BABIES CRY
AND WE'RE HELPLESS FROM THE START
YOU'RE THE REASON FOR REASON
THE POWER OF LIGHT AND THE LOVE THAT'S IN MY HEART
