Reasons

I've been saddled by my senses

Ridden 'round betrayed

I've been left without defences

Scattered, sorry and scathed

Can you smell the city sulpher

Do your eyes begin to tear

Out of touch with those who suffer

But you can almost taste their fear

And a thousand miles away a child kneels to pray

And when you wrestle for the reasons and you can't find a one

Well, there's no better time to seize on the things that can be done

To make it better

Your saving grace, don't lose it

Just hold your head up high

And find a faith and use it

Cause we can surely try, we're gonna try

I hear a cry within the forest

I taste the water if it's boiled

I hear pious pleas to beware

I swallow food masquerading

In a cold genetic fare

I watch humanity begin to take another on the chin

And in the end why can't we see

And when you wrestle for the reasons and you can't find a one

Well, there's no better time to seize on the things that can be done

To make it better

Your saving grace, don't lose it

Just hold your head up high

And find a faith and use it

Cause we can surely try, we're gonna try

Question our divinity

Within us lies the ability

To amend our ways, restore us, our children they implore us

Can't you see

That when you wrestle for the reasons and you can't find a one

Well, there's no better time to seize on the things that can be done

To make it better

Your saving grace, don't lose it

Just hold your head up high

And find a faith and use it

Cause we can surely try

To help ourselves and make the future

Help ourselves and make the future

Help ourselves and make the future bright
