The Reason - Ted Gärdestad

Try now, to understand

Sometimes we all need a helping hand

So don’t cry now behind your door

Asking the stars what we’re living for

I will show you

How you

Get to the shelter of peace

Where our minds are at ease

And believe me Love is the reason we’re here

Smile now, wipe off your tears

It’s only human to show your fears

So don’t hide now your innocence

Lean on my shoulder with confidence

I’ll console you

Hold you

'Til all your agony’s gone

And I’m sure that you’re strong

So believe me Love is the reason we’re here

Take me along for a cosmic trip

Leave the earth on a flying ship

Empty skies are every where

Life will be so lonely here

In the silent Milkyway

Where the trees can’t grow

And children can’t play

Tell me who’s gonna stay

You say there is a better place

Than this earth we walk and the sky we face

Must be more than the atmosphere

Tell me why we’re stranded here

On this planet close to Mars

Where the shining stars

Decide who we are

Hear me, I wish to say

Sometimes our needs are a touch away

So don’t fear me, I’ve also cried

I know how it feals to be pushed aside

You must trust me Touch me There is no cause for your doubts

What this world is about

And believe me Love is the reason whe’re here
