(m. riperton r. rudolph)      The reasons for my life are in a million faces   Like aching promises I feel them in my bones   Slipping through my fingers to dance upon the road   The reasons for my life are more than I can hold   But oh, the sweet delight to sing with all my might   To spark the inner light of wonder burning bright   You're not alone   You're not alone      The reasons for my life are buried in deep places   Words once could awaken them   These seeds that I have sown   Ringing through the madness to crash against the cold   The reasons for my life cannot be bought or sold      The reasons for my life are filling all my spaces   Like rushing waters flow, they carry me along   Twisting through my memory to pull free from the load   The reasons for my life are more than I was told
