Reason To Be Lyrics
Kansas
Lyrics
So long, someone is waiting
I got places to go, I got things to see
No more procrastinating
For this is the moment that was meant for me
And I'm moving like a wave on the ocean
Drifting to the opposite ride
Traveling with no destination
Just riding the tide
People, they say that I'm foolish
They say that I'm living in a fantasy
Well, I say, "Every thing's easy
It's better than living in futility"
So, I'm standing here in back of the curtain
Waiting for the start of the show
Acting like an actor is easy
If you can let go
Someday something will find you
A magical feeling you could not foresee
A feeling so devastating
From that moment on your life's a comedy
And suddenly you're light as a feather
You're falling like a leaf from a tree
The things you thought you needed are fading
Your reason to be, your reason to be
Your reason to be
Reason, reason to be
Reason, reason to be
Reason, reason to be
...
