I've Got a Reason

I've got a reason to sing

Sitting alone in the square

Stories about long gone times

When everyone was there

I've got a reason to praise

Memories of being so close

Fighthing for things we belevied

The future was not just a ghost

I sing about places I've dreamed

And promises never come true

Romantic islands I've seen

Somewhere way out in the blue

I've got a reason to mourn

For the lives of my old buccaneers

es into the dawn

Till the ideals disappeared

I sing about faces I lost

And fantasies I almost lived

But darkness is always the boss

No matter how much you might give

I've got a reason to sing

Outside the houses of shame

Stories about war and peace

And cavalry that never came

I've got a reason to love

The hope that one day we will win

Over the forces of fear

The trouble we're all sitting in

I sing about places I've dreamed

And promises never come true

Romantic islands I've seen

Somewhere way out in the blue

I've got a reason to sing

Sitting alone in the square

Stories about long gone times

When everyone was there...
