Lyrics
In my eyes are unshed tears
Linked in part to all my fears
That this is all there is
That this is all there really is
But theres...
Got to be a reason
Why with tender loving care
We cultivate the flowers
Like to put the petals in our hair
And not a world away
We turn the forests all to grey
I know there's got to be a reason why
Got to be a reason
Why in 1959 we heard the cry of freedom
Marched in all the lines
But for all the dues they paid
Hates alive and well in the USA
I know there's got to be a reason why
Got to be a reason why
In my eyes are unshed tears
Linked in part to all my fears
That this is all there is
That this is all there really is
But there's got to be a reason
For people living on the streets
When there's so much food
But not enough get to eat
And when I hear the children cry
They deserve to laugh before they die
I know there's got to be a reason why
Got to be a reason
Why the sun up in the sky
Keeps burning ever faithful, keeping us alive
When if just a little further away
There'd be no life on earth today
I know there's got to be a reason why
Got to be a reason why
Now don't just tell me to believe
Cause that don't make no kind of sense to me
I know there's go to be a reason why
You see I'm not designed by doubt or fear
If there's a truth I got to know what it is
Got to be a reason why
Got to be a reason why
Got to be a reason why
In my eyes are unshed tears
Linked in part to all my fears
That this is all there is
That this is all there really is
