I Got My Reason

BARRY WHITE

Sittin' here thinkin' 'bout how much
Life has gone by wonderin' how much longer
How much more time
We will need before it's said and done
Before we realize that it's been finally won

Well, I got my reason feelin' the way I do
I wanna try to enjoy this life of mine
Before it's through

Well, I got my reasons
For wantin' to be free
What's good for the other man
It just ain't good enough for me

Mm, hmm mm, hmm

As I walk this lonely land
Of broken hearts and dreams
Lookin' at the situation I have
Visions of many things
That day when we can walk
Together hand in hand
Then we can say that in this place
There is enough for every woman
Child and man

I got my reason for the tears in my eyes
Ah, when I think of all the boys
Who gave their life for you and I

I got my reason
For wantin' a better world, oh Lord
I'm gonna lend a helpin' hand
To someone each and every day

Mm, hmm mm, hmm

Well, I got my reasons
Feelin' the way I do, oh yeah
I wanna try to enjoy this life of mine
Before it's through

I got my reasons
For wantin' to be free, oh Lord
What's good for the other man
It just ain't good enough for me

I got my reason for the tears in my eyes
When I think of all the boys
Who gave their lives for you and I

Well, I got my reason
For wantin' a better world, oh Lord
I'm gonna lend a helpin' hand
To someone each and every day

I got my reason oh, I got my reason
