The Reason

There was a time my life seemed over

All the truth I held were lies

I would have given all I had

To know the reason why I still should be alive

There was a place I'd often go to

Seeking answers from the sky

How I was found I'll never know

But what came to me is Truth I can't deny

That's when time slowed down

And I heard my soul crying

"What you seek can be found deep inside

And you're not alone

There's still unturned stones

And when you can see what I can you'll not cry"

"So won't you take time to listen

Truth is sometimes hard to hear

In moments of sadness

Try to find the love that lies behind your fear"

"You are much larger than you know

You're why seasons reappear

When you remember who you are

Your reason is clear"

Keep true your feelings

Hide not what burns inside

Pour out your passions

Its always better to have lived than to have died
