Here we stand, caught between the cradle and the grave   In a world that gives you nothing but your name   With every step you take, you must be brave   Nothing lost is nothing gained      And I know lives are lost for crowns and kings   We all know love is lost for lesser things   And the angels here have broken wings   Though I know somewhere a choir sings      You gotta have a reason   A reason to believe   A reason just to dream   Sometimes it takes blind eyes to see   A reason to believe      A hot-headed hero, here you see I'm just a man   Comes a time, a time to make a stand, yeah   So here I am with heart in hand   Don't be afraid to understand      You gotta have a reason   One reason to believe   A reason just to dream   Sometimes it takes blind eyes to see   A reason to believe in trust      I believe in faith   I believe in us   'Til my dying day   You gotta have a reason   Whoa, you gotta have a reason, yeah      If all we've got is you and me   Then what we've got is all we need      You gotta have a reason   One reason to believe   A reason just to dream   But sometimes it takes blind eyes to see   One reason      You gotta have a reason   One reason to believe   A reason just to dream   But sometimes it takes blind eyes to see   One reason      You gotta have a reason   Whoa, you gotta have a reason   One reason to believe   A reason just to dream, yeah
