Jimmy Needham - The Reason I Sing lyrics

If its just to top a song chart To feed the kids and get a bigger car The skies already have a lot of stars And they all sing Your name And if I'm here to write a #1 To get a gold or maybe platinum Make me a singer who is unsung Cuz You won't share fame Cuz even accolades someday will fade away Oh just like me Yes everything but You, yeah And many years from now it won't matter How I write the rhymes I do, yeah Help me get back to the reason I sing for You I'm always looking for the limelight To dim my house and make the stages bright Compared to You I'm just a night light Against the blazing sun I enter rooms and hope they notice me To fill my social insecurities I'm asking if there's any hope for me Cuz there is room for only one Cuz even accolades someday will fade away Oh just like me Yes everything but You, yeah And many years from now it won't matter How I write the rhymes I do, yeah Help me get back to the reason I sing for You Why are we so convinced a bigger audience Is simply common sense to have? Maybe success is measured best By nothing less then our obedience So if I'm destined for a small stage The small crowds and the small pay Then maybe even in a small way I can bring You fame Cuz even accolades someday will fade away Oh just like me Yes everything but You, yeah And many years from now it won't matter How I write the rhymes I do, yeah Help me get back to the reason I sing for You Help me get back to the reason I sing for You
