Lyrics The Reason - Ted Gärdestad

The Reason

Try now, to understand
Sometimes we all need a helping hand
So don’t cry now behind your door
Asking the stars what we’re living for
I will show you
How you
Get to the shelter of peace
Where our minds are at ease
And believe me Love is the reason we’re here
Smile now, wipe off your tears
It’s only human to show your fears
So don’t hide now your innocence
Lean on my shoulder with confidence
I’ll console you
Hold you
'Til all your agony’s gone
And I’m sure that you’re strong
So believe me Love is the reason we’re here
Take me along for a cosmic trip
Leave the earth on a flying ship
Empty skies are every where
Life will be so lonely here
In the silent Milkyway
Where the trees can’t grow
And children can’t play
Tell me who’s gonna stay
You say there is a better place
Than this earth we walk and the sky we face
Must be more than the atmosphere
Tell me why we’re stranded here
On this planet close to Mars
Where the shining stars
Decide who we are
Hear me, I wish to say
Sometimes our needs are a touch away
So don’t fear me, I’ve also cried
I know how it feals to be pushed aside
You must trust me Touch me There is no cause for your doubts
What this world is about
And believe me Love is the reason whe’re here
