I'd think of all those people with their love and understanding  How they wear it like they had it from the start  I must have been the other kind...  the kind with just a lonely mind and heart  And from where you stand you're an attractive revelation  And from where I stand I'm mostly on my knees  And from there I said hello, felt something small and slow  Say "Please, please, please"  And though it's just a thought, It's such a saving shot...  For every person there's a rhyme and a reason  To decide to be the chosen one to stand among the broken ones.  I remember crying down a long and withered highway  I remember waiting for my story to begin.  Had all my laughs cut short, a boat without a port  A ragged house of tin.  But ... maybe it's true about the teacher when you're ready  Maybe it's true about the hollow and the slope  Love, turn my steps around  Let me fall on solid ground with Faith and rope.  And though its just a thought, I say it's all I've got...  For every person there's a rhyme and a reason  To decide to be the chosen one to stand among  the broken ones.  Outside a window there's a night beyond all secrets  And outside that window there's a window shining in  And it shows a room that has a fire steady burning  And a woman knowing that the darkness can't come in  And she wants to thank you for your love and understanding  She needs to thank you for your honour to the soul  It's love from someone who believed she'd need a stand in  To tell her story let alone to live it whole  And though it's just a thought, she says it's all we've got  For every person there's a rhyme and a reason  To decide to be the chosen one to stand among  the broken ones.  stand among the broken ones,  stand among the broken ones...  For every person  May love come through  For every person  May love come through
