Another Reason Lyrics

[Verse 1:]
Water cuts rock, so which has more force?
As water shapes the land, it's still willing to change it's course
So can't even change your own minds? Usually change nothing
Can't ever blame your own mind? Always blame something
But in failure, hides opportunity
In divided communities still residing is unity
Waiting to show itself soon as we're ready to see it
Truth is always there, soon as we are ready to be it
So we can keep pretending what's real is just the senses
But it is all the same when you're looking with stronger lenses
So concerned with images, but it's there in the words
Images are just imagination, thats whats so absurd
Have you heard the Pig now knows it's fat?
And the Zebra is confused because it's white and it's black?
So what's fact, right and exact when everything changes
Change the way you look at the world, the world changes

[Hook:]
Instead of reasons to die, find a reason to live
Instead of reasons to fight, find a reason to give
Instead of reasons to talk, find a reason to sing
Instead of reasons to take, find a reason to bring

Instead of reasons for I, find a reason for we
Instead of reasons to try, find a reason to be
Instead of reasons to look, find a reason to see
People, I am pleading, find another reason

[Verse 2:]
We are so busy noticing money don't grow on trees
We forgot that food does and that it's the food that we need
You see, I done traveled all over the Isles
And seen the poorest people with the wealthiest smiles
So what is Rich or Poor, Less or More?
What's victory? What's defeat? And who keeps the score?
Who sleeps more soundly, the Prince or the Pauper?
Who speaks more profoundly, the Professor or just the talker?
The walker or the driver, who travels the furthest?
The explorer or the pirate, who is providing a service?
Who decides what is worthless, versus what has a purpose?
Did the so-called civilized world not think the earth a flat surface yesterday?
So, who knows what tomorrow brings?
It often is the oddest of songs that tomorrow sings
Look back through the ages, everything changes
Change the way you look at the world, the world changes

[Hook:]

[Breakdown:]
We find all these reasons
To never be the person we want to be
Because I'm still healing
All these wounds that are burned
So deep inside of me

[Verse 3:]
We think that we're smart and that makes us dumb
Think that we feel the most and that makes us numb
Weak because we’re convinced that we have the power
Because we can make buildings and guns, but not a single flower
We're just waves but think we're the ocean
Because it's easier then admitting
We don't know where the current is going
We're just flowing
Why do we feel it needs controlling?
Waves just rolls with the ocean until they reach the sand
So let's roll with our part, until we reach our land
Acknowledge that the fear in our hearts, totally in our hands
It's not a thing, we just think
Imagine the Earth decided that it was afraid to spin?
So don't be afraid, to sing with your voice
That's what it is for
The more we run from truth, the closer it gets to your door
Look back through the ages, everything changes
Change the way you look at yourself, the self changes

[Hook:]
