Analysis of Reason
What is your reason to live,
It's not what he wants to give,
all he does is take from you
walks like your dirt under his shoe
Keep breathing my dear
keep that strength, this is your year,
Fight like never before
get out and see what life has in store.
Where your going takes strength and courage
time to get away and lose the baggage
start your new life of happiness and smiles
because girl, it's time to put on some miles.
Live your dreams it's your time now
look out at the crowd and take a bow,
you've won the race,
it's time to live life at your pace!
