Lyrics

Reason To Live
Words and Music by Alli Coffey

He is a wretched soul, nowhere to go
And he watched his only life slowly slip away
He wrote this song, yearning to belong
Tired to his bones of singing solo

And he hung by a thread of his one last hope
He turned to me and said, “I don’t want to sing alone…”

Each breath he takes feels just like a weight
Crushing on his body till he breaks
The wind blows the dust around
From all the people in the ground
Who lived all their lives – and then they died

“I’ve been searching for a reason to live
Could there be something that I should give
To make this world a better place
A reason to keep my face above the ground”

He always said, “You’re either dead or alive
And in between you try your best just to survive
We all hang by a thread from our only hope
That when we’re dead we’ll still have a soul”

“We are searching for a reason to live!
Could there be something that we should give
To make this world a better place
A reason to keep our faces above the ground?”

“I have found my reason to live
I have something good that I will give
I’ll sing this song for all my life,
and if I have you by my side
I won’t have to sing… alone”
