"I've Got A Reason" lyrics - RICHIE FURAY

Been a child in my life, a child in my dreams
It seemed forever that I'd get a hold of myself in between.

Nothin' for certain at least it seemed so anyway
And I was wondering what I would become or what may.

Music was my life, finally took everything
Ain't it funny how you got it all and not a thing?
(It's a gift I can sing).

I've got a reason for living each day
And I've got a reason for makin' it pay
If it's only for a moment and it's only my way
I've got a reason, a time and a season.

Ooh, I was takin' it for granted, a little more than I should
I had it easy, mmm was life ever doing me good?

I had it all written, how the story would end
But I ran out of pages and I was left all alone with the pen.

The story's still got a line, the song'll still rhyme
The names are the same, they're yours and they're mine
(I guess I knew it all the time).

I've got a reason for living each day
I've got a reason for makin' it pay
If it's only for a moment and it's only my way
I've got a reason, a time and a season.
