Reason for Living Songtext
von Roddy Frame

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
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

Miracles will come and go
Watch it all work out
But don′t give in

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?
Is it the world you believe in?


You crawl to the ends of the earth
As the scenery's caving in
Knees burnt by gravel
The season unravel
Your reason for living

Flesh and blood and small change
We start a little something new
I'd rather lead and be mistaken
Than following and faking
For the sake of seeming true

All the stars and the satellites shine down on you
But which will you heed?

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?
Is it the world you believe in?

You crawl to the ends of the earth
As the scenery′s caving in
Knees burnt by gravel
The season unravel
Your reason for living


If I should drown in the light of your eyes
I′d rather die giving
Than walk the line with some grace
And say it wasn't a race
Ain′t that a reason for living?
