Reasons

Reasons - Minnie Riperton

The reasons for my life are in a million faces

Like aching promises I feel them in my bones

Slipping through my fingers to dance upon the road

The reasons for my life are more than I can

Hold

But oh the sweet delight

To sing with all my might

To spark the inner light

Of wonder burning bright

You're not alone

You're not alone

The reasons for my life are buried in deep places

Words once could awaken them

These seeds that I have sown

Ringing through the madness to crash against the cold

The reasons for my life cannot be bought or sold

But oh the sweet delight

To sing with all my might

To spark the inner light

Of wonder burning bright

You're not alone

You're not

Alone

The reasons for my life are filling all my spaces

Like rushing waters flow they carry me along

Twisting through my memory to pull free from the load

The reasons for my life are more than I was told

But oh the sweet delight

To sing with all my might

To spark the inner light

Of wonder burning bright

You're not alone

You're not alone

Alone

Alone
