Everybody Needs A Reason

Time chews like a termite, tearing at the timber of our lives but hopes and dreams keep structures safe and sound, so they will never fall down. We’re learning, ageing, growing on our one-way tickets we’re all going somewhere that’s a better place, where life and love meet face to face. I see him say it with his eyes (I see the truth without the lies) I see my very pride and joy (I see my little baby boy). Everybody needs a reason to be strong inside Everybody needs a reason to belong inside And so the boy becomes a man, sets sail from where it all began He plots a course, his best made plans, on open ocean far from land Never really knowing whether this direction he is going will lead him to a better place, where life and love meet face to face. I see him say it with his eyes (I see the truth without disguise) I see my very pride and joy (I see my little baby boy). Everybody needs a reason to be strong inside (I can see what’ll set me free) Everybody needs a reason to belong inside (I believe what matters to me) We get twisted by the feelings that collide inside We go missing when it’s not been our intention to hide Everybody needs a reason to be strong inside (and I’ve found mine). Everybody needs a reason to be strong inside Everybody needs a reason to belong inside (I believe what matters to me) Everybody needs a reason to be strong inside (I can see what’ll set me free) Everybody needs a reason to belong inside (and I’ve found mine)…
