The Reason (If you wanted to) - by Jayel Ayche
VERSE 1:
There's a lonely man standin on the corner waitin for,
some change to fall into his life, or so they say
If you pass him by, never ask the reason why
and you wait your turn, to take the time to criticize.
PRE-CHORUS 1:
Did you stop awhile and ask him how he was today
Did you find a lie and say it wouldn't matter anyway.
VERSE 2:
Eight o'clock the traffic stops, looks like you late for work again.
The traffic lights are always red and never change.
You won't even try to see the life you're passin by
it's all the same cause life's a game you win or lose.
PRE-CHORUS 2:
Did you stop awhile, ask yourself the price you pay
Did you find the time to make it through another day?
CHORUS:
What's the reason?
What's the reason if?
- If you wanted to.
VERSE 3:
Once again you're at the end the days been long and tying but...
there's more things to do, can't wait another day.
Did it pass you by? did you lose track of the time?
Tomorrow's yesterday when you live your life this way.
PRE-CHORUS 3:
Do you spend your night planning how to spend your day?
Do you take the time to realize it happens anyway?
CHORUS
