Reason for Living
[Verse 1]
Now you're back in my arms again
Let your heart be rearranged
While you were sleeping the reaper's been reaping
The times have changed
[Verse 2]
Speak softly to me
You have more power than the bomb
The tears in your eyes are just medals and prizes
The war is over
[Pre-Chorus]
Miracles will come and go watch it all work out
But don't give in
[Chorus]
If you should climb to the top of the world
Just to take it on the chin
What would it matter if the world seemed to shatter?
Was it the world you believe in?
You crawl to the ends of the earth
As the scenery's caving in
On knees burnt by gravel the seasons unravel
Your reason for living
[Verse 3]
With flesh and blood and small change
We start a little something new
Rather lead and be mistaken than following and faking
For the sake of seeming true
[Pre-Chorus]
All the stars and satellites shine down on you
But which will you heed?
[Chorus]
If you should climb to the top of the world
Just to take it on the chin
What would it matter if the world seems to shatter?
Is it the world you believe in?
You crawl to the ends of the earth
As the scenery's caving in
On knees burnt by gravel the seasons unravel
Your reason for living
If I should drown in the light of your eyes
I'd rather die giving
Walk the line with some grace and say it wasn't a race
Ain't that a reason for living?
