Everything Happens for a Reason Songtext
von Stephen Bruton

Now everything happens for a reason
Whatever that reason might be
If you′re standing too close to read the writing on the wall
There ain't no way you′re gonna see
Ain't no rhyme or reason
When it comes down, that's all
Everything happens for a reason
Or nothing wouldn′t happen at all

Now some say your fate is already written
And other people say no way
It′s your own free will's determination
It′s all black and white and shades of gray
But it really doesn't matter in the long run
′Cause any blind man can see
Everybody's got some big idea
But what makes sense to me?


Everything happens for a reason
That′s all I've got to say
Everything happens for a reason
And that's why things-a happen that way

Now some people take their secrets to the grave
And other people have ′em confessed
Some people claim that they′ve been born again
And the rest of us get repossessed
And I don't know why fate just picks on some
And leaves the rest so neglected
So hope for the best, prepare for the worst
And expect the unexpected

Everything happens for a reason
That′s all I've got to say
Everything happens for a reason
And that′s why things-a happen that way
Everything happens for a reason
That's all I′ve got to say
Everything happens for a reason
And that's why things-a happen that way
