Everybody needs a reason
To make it through another day
And everybody needs a reason
Try and find another way
Ive been up, Ive been down
Seemed like one long, lonely ride
Wish Id been usin, time I could be usin
To learn about myself inside
Thats not a hard thing to do
Everybody needs a reason
Doesnt matter who they are
And everybody needs a reason
To make it to the shootin star
So many people, dont understand
Never live, but waiting to die
I wish I could reach them
I really wanna teach them
Something so good going on inside
Maybe they dont like it, maybe they do
This is the way, its all coming true
Everybody needs a reason
Everybody needs to know
Maybe things are changin
I really dont know
Knowing things is helping to grow
Everybody needs a reason
Everybody needs to know
(repeat x3)
