I Need A Reason

If I could learn to sing
My voice would soar like a bird's
If we could learn to love
We'd find it's what we prefer (to hating)

I need what everybody needs
I need a reason to believe
I'm not alone in the world

If we could hold ours tongues
We'd finally have something to say
If we could lose control
We might start to get it our way

(I bet you) Wanna know what everybody needs
(I'll tell you) We need a reason to believe
We're not alone in the world

If we could read the news
We'd wake from our ignorant bliss
And when we sit in pews
Learn how to love and assist (and not hate)

I need what everybody needs
I need a reason to believe
We're not alone in the world
We will be loved by a boy or a girl
A change is coming our way
It might unravel today
