Lyrics

For All the Wrong Reasons

Can you hear these words
As their echo dies away
Will the meaning fade
Or will it stay

If you listen closely
You'll find the key that's hidden there
To unlock the secret
Your heart bears

A gentle voice
That gives you choice
To guide you home
Or lead you on

All your life you've been reaching for the source
Tell me what is it you're really looking for
Are you ready to stay on course
Don't stop before you get to the core

All your life you've been trying to run uphill
Do you really think this cross is yours to bear
Will you ever stop tilting at windmills
Until you do you'll get nowhere

You'll see
In time I'll make you see
That I'll go through
I'll make it through no matter what you do
You cannot stop me
I'm way beyond your reach
I'm done with all the learning
Now it's my turn to teach

They'll try
They'll try to close their eyes
But they will see
In the end everyone will see
That only I could
Ever set them free
They'll just have to accept me
And I'll provide the key

So stop wasting my time
I'm a bringer of reason and rhyme
Take no more of their lame excuses
Shame on the one who refuses

They'll try to hide but I'll find them
Drag them out in the open
Shed light on the fears that daunt them
Cast out the demons that haunt them

Rise and spread the word
Don't be deaf, dumb and blind
Keep talking until you're heard
Open up your mind

I was the one who told you to go
I was the one you expected to know
You were the one, cause I chose you
You thought you'd won
But now I know you
