Lyrics
7 days and 7 nights I worked
And I had my reasons
40 days and 40 nights I walked
And I had my reasons
I thought nothing of the place I'd left
I had my reasons
Spurned the haughty for the blind and deaf
And I had my reasons
Hold on
You don't understand
I've hurt
More than any man
I knew
I knew it was coming
I kneeled down upon the grass and wept
And I had my reasons
Crushed beneath the sons of men I slept
And I had my reasons
Hold on
You don't understand
I've hurt
More than any man
I knew
I knew it was coming
Felt the fire rushing through my chest
And I had my reasons
There is no body where I laid to rest
And I had my reasons
