Reason to Be

There's a reason to be
More than a little upset
If there's a morsel of truth 
I guess no one’s found it yet

Is there somewhere to go?
Where the people are good
If it’s so easy to do 
Why’d you make it look so hard?

Do you know who you are?
Do you like what you do?
You could find something new 
But it’s too much work right now 

There’s a room with a view
Overlooking the truth 
You could make it a home 
But at what cost to your soul 

Let’s pray it won’t happen 
In our lifetime
Torn pages in place of reassurances 

There’s a reason to be
Grateful for every day 
But you must watch what you say 
Because someone’s always listening 

Is there somewhere to go? 
Where the living is free
If it’s so easy for you
Tell me why don’t you just leave?

Let’s pray it won’t happen 
In our lifetime 
Torn pages in place of reassurances

Old faces, same places
It’s a new regime 
Still tongue tied and speechless
It’s another day 

(There’s a reason to be, more than a little upset, there’s a reason to be)
