lyrics

Reason - Steve Merlin 1996/2003/2008

All you think all you want, all you keep, all you give
All you see, all you feel, all you breathe, all you live
All you make, all you dare, all you cry all you sing
All you taste, all you smell, all you die, all you win

All the time, all the people, all the love, all the sin
And the girl with the red hair that shower her skin

All the friends that you make, your anytime-brothers
Make wings of your you, and a sun of the others

All your greed, all your lies, all you fear you have missed
All your dreams, all you try, all the tears that you’ve kissed
All is fine, oh you’re crazy, all the times you try to tame me
All the times you amaze me

It’s the reason
The reason
The reason
The reason... to live

I think you’re amazing, but I have gone away
I think you know the reason, don’t know what to say

‘Cause all the times that you leave me, come around and leave me
For all the nice, lovely people, all this time believe me

It’s the reason
The reason to live
The reason
The reason to live...
