Be My Reason

Sometimes in life we take things for granted

Like a smile on our face and love in our heart

The tears we shed are our inner thoughts

Reminding us of the demons inside each day

Protected by our mundane daily routine

A wave and a nod to the passing stranger

Thinking there is no way it can happen to me

Life becomes difficult

Chorus:

Be my reason to walk

Be my reason to dance

Be my reason to smile

Be my reason I get up in the morning

Be my reason to love

Be my reason to breathe

Be my reason to live

Trapped in a cage that no-one can see

The face in the mirror is an unknown image

People only see me from the outside

They don’t see me from the inside

I try to brave, I try to smile

Each passing day becomes harder to live

Where do I turn?  Who can I talk too

A struggle only some will ever see

Bridge:

It’s time we opened up to let the world outside see

None of us our perfect, not you and not me

It’s time to talk we all agree
