Let me down slowly 
A dog's life is one I'll never have 
The bridge may be weak now 
But it'll last. 
Look at you squirm now 
In the corner as you battle time 
No one holds a candle 
But that's no surprise 
I've got a reason to try 

I've got a reason, hey yeah 
They say they'll replace you 

Your will becomes smaller as I speak 
You didn't ever wanna be the one 
You didn't ever wanna cross that bridge at all 
I've got a reason to try 

Time to be reading the signs 
I've got a reason to try 
I've got a reason, hey yeah 
I spoke to my Father 

He enlightened me on the subject of life 
He said, you could really be the one 
Make it count and see what is returned 
I've got a reason to try 

Time to be reading the signs 
I've got a reason to try 
I've got a reason, hey yea
