[Verse 1]
Here we stand, caught between the cradle and the grave
In a world that gives you nothing but your name
With every step you take, you must be brave
Nothing lost is nothing gained
And I know lives are lost for crowns and kings
We all know love is lost for lesser things
And the angels here have broken wings
Though I know somewhere a choir sings

[Chorus]
You got to have a reason
A reason to believe
A reason just to dream
Sometimes it takes blind eyes to see
A reason to believe

[Verse 2]
A hot-headed hero, here you see I'm just a man
Comes a time, a time to make a stand, yeah
So here I am with heart in hand
Don't be afraid to understand

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I believe in faith
I believe in us
Until my dying day
You got to have a reason
Whoa, you got to have a reason, yeah
If all we've got is you and me
Then what we've got is all we need

[Chorus] [x2]

[Outro]
You got to have a reason
Whoa, you got to have a reason
One reason to believe
A reason just to dream, yeah
