Lyrics: “The Reason” – Michael Barrow and The Tourists

I open my eyes to see the moon rise Looks like another day’s gone The wandering line behind me defines The answers that still haven’t come Oh, the shadow’s before me And oh, I can’t see where to go I need a reason I look to the stars and I finally see that Life’s born…

I open my eyes to see the moon rise
Looks like another day’s gone
The wandering line behind me defines
The answers that still haven’t come

Oh, the shadow’s before me
And oh, I can’t see where to go

I need a reason
I look to the stars and I finally see that
Life’s born on bigger things
That’s all I need
That’s all that I need

Just when I had a glimpse of the path
I took my first step in the road
But a few moments on I tripped on the thought –
The fears of what I couldn’t know

Oh, the shadow surrounds me
And oh, it’s too dark to go

I need a reason
I look to the stars and I finally see that
Life’s born on bigger things
That’s all I need
That’s all that I need

Oh, when I feel like I’m alone
But the journey heals my soul
That’s when I know

That I need a reason
I look to the stars and I finally see that
Life’s born on bigger things
That’s all I need
That’s all that I need
