Roddy Frame - Reason for Living lyrics

Words and music by roddy frame Now you're back in my arms again Let your heart be rearranged While you were sleeping the reaper's been reaping The times have changed Speak softly to me You have more power than the bomb The tears in your eyes are just medals and prizes The war is over Miracles will come and go watch it all work out But don't give in If you should climb to the top of the world Just to take it on the chin What would would it matter if the world were to shatter Is it the world you believe in You crawl to the ends of the earth As the scenery's caving in On knees burnt by gravel the season's unravel Your reason for living With flesh and blood and small change We start a little something new Rather lead and be mistaken than following and fakin' For the sake of seeming true All the stars and satellites shine down on you But which will you heed? If you should climb to the top of the world Just to take it on the chin What would would it matter if the world were to shatter Is it the world you believe in? You crawl to the ends of the earth As the scenery's caving in On knees burnt by gravel the season's unravel Your reason for living If I should drown in the light of your eyes Well I'd rather die giving Walk the line with some grace say it wasn't a race Ain't that a reason for living?
