We started out a long time ago   We didn't know what to do   Knockin' our romances, we took the chances   That a lot of us do   Well, we've seen strange places   We fell on our faces   It was all on the line   Cause we believed in what we were   And we know that we would see it in time      A reason to carry on   Is the feelin' when the music's done   Maybe we'll take someone's whole life   (And) turn their head around   Open up the door      Listen to me you've got to help me   I can't help myself   It's been a long long time   Wish it were mine   I can't help myself   I've been searchin' everywhere   Lookin' here and there   And I finally see   It may take forever and it never   But will you listen to me      A reason to carry on   Is the feelin' when the music's done   Maybe we'll take someone's whole life   (And) turn their head around   It's a reason to carry on, it's a reason to carry   Open up the door      A reason to carry on   Is the feelin' when the music's done   Maybe we'll take someone's whole life   And turn their head around   Open up the door oh oh   A reason to carry on   Is a feelin' when the music's done   Maybe we'll take someone's whole life    Turn their head around   It's a reason to carry on   It's a reason to carry on   Open up the door
