Why are you sitting on the side

clockin' the time

letting them do the decidin'?


Caught in the ebb without a flow

watchin' the tide

what kind of wave are you ridin'?


Pick off the hours of the day

this is a shade

of your blue you've been hidin'.


Walking through the shadows of your soul

don't be afraid

'cuz baby I'll do your fightin'.


Chorus:

You're the reason

you're my everything

you lift me up when I have fallen

You're the reason

you are everything

I'm higher up and you're the reason

yeah......


I know the secret of your eyes

I may be wise

or maybe paying attention


You are much better than you know

You're subtle grace

with the heart of a lion



Shook you when the sky was falling down

you lost your place

safe in the middle


Guilty by omission was the case

but this is home base

where you will find your acquittal


(chorus)


Bridge:

I'm better since you came along

Now it's my turn


(chorus out)
