The Reason

I've been down
For as long as I recall
I've been down
And I wanted you to know

I've read the words a thousand times
And they almost made me cry
I always thought I'd be strong
The day that Grandma died

But I broke down
Yeah it got the best of me
When I broke down
On that lonely New Year's Eve

Pre-chorus:

She told me that she loved me
Then I watched her fade away
So that night we said goodbye
I got on my knees and prayed

Chorus:

Tell me the reason. Show me the way
Give me the strength to make it one more day
Where do I belong if all I've got is faith
This much is true
I still believe in you.

The lights went out
And the rain began to fall
Without a sound
I close my eyes and think of you

Pre-Chorus:

In this crazy memory
Can you help me find my place?
I don't want to be alone
In the human race

Chorus
