Everybody needs a reason
To make it through another day
And everybody needs a reason
Try and find another way

I´ve been up, I´ve been down
Seemed like one long, lonely ride
Wish I´d been usin´, time I could be usin´
To learn about myself inside
That´s not a hard thing to do

Everybody needs a reason
Doesn´t matter who they are
And everybody needs a reason
To make it to the shootin´ star

So many people, don´t understand
Never live, but waiting to die
I wish I could reach them
I really wanna teach them
Something so good going on inside

Maybe they don´t like it, maybe they do

This is the way, it´s all coming true
Everybody needs a reason
Everybody needs to know
Maybe things are changin´
I really don´t know
Knowing things is helping to grow

Everybody needs a reason
Everybody needs to know
(Repeat X3)
