Minnie Riperton - Reasons lyrics

The reasons for my life are
In a million faces
Like aching promises I feel them in my bones
Slipping through my fingers to
Dance upon the road
The reasons for my life are
More than I can hold

But oh
The sweet delight to sing with all my might
To spark the inner light
Of wonder burning bright you're not alone
You're not alone

The reasons for my life are
Buried in deep places
Words once could awaken them
These seeds that I have sown
Ringing through the madness to
Crash against the cold
The reasons for my life cannot
Be bought or sold

But oh
The sweet delight to sing with all my might
To spark the inner light
Of wonder burning bright you're not alone
You're not alone

The reasons for my life are
Filling all my spaces
Like rushing waters flow, they carry me along
Twisting through my memory to pull
Free from the load
The reasons for my life are
More than I was told

But oh
The sweet delight to sing with all my might
To spark the inner light
Of wonder burning bright you're not alone
You're not alone

Alone alone
Alone
