I've Got a Reason

Been a child in my life, a child in my dreams
It seemed forever that I’d get a hold of myself in between.
Nothin' for certain at least it seemed so anyway
And I was wondering what I would become or what may.
Music was my life, finally took everything
Ain’t it funny how you got it all and not a thing?
(It's a gift I can sing).
I’ve got a reason for living each day
And I’ve got a reason for makin' it pay
If it’s only for a moment and it’s only my way
I’ve got a reason, a time and a season.
Ooh, I was takin' it for granted, a little more than I should
I had it easy, mmm was life ever doing me good?
I had it all written, how the story would end
But I ran out of pages and I was left all alone with the pen.
The story’s still got a line, the song’ll still rhyme
The names are the same, they’re yours and they’re mine
(I guess I knew it all the time).
I’ve got a reason for living each day
I’ve got a reason for makin' it pay
If it’s only for a moment and it’s only my way
I’ve got a reason, a time and a season.
