This song is about facing hard times even when you know that by doing so, you will go through even more pain. It is also about facing our fears. Whenever I am having a bad day, this is the song I enjoy playing. -RT
Reason to Believe
by
Raymond Tyler
I don’t need to prove myself to show you who I am. To repress my soul to keep myself from crying. I just wanna keep myself believing in me. Anything else would be a lie deceiving no one but me.
I don’t want to try. Because, I know I’ll cry
I ‘m afraid, of what the future will bring
I’ve got the time, and it seems like such a crime,
to let the future waste away in front of me.
I don’t know what to say, I’ve got know no one to blame. It’s me; I’ve got to look inside. I’ve been pointing fingers for such a long time, I haven’t seen the reflection standing in front of me. Broken glass like my faults, shatter in front of me.
I don’t want to try. Because, I know I’ll cry
I ‘m afraid, of what the future will bring
I’ve got the time, and it seems like such a crime,
to let the future waste away in front of me.
Fallen angel, I’ve clipped my wings, stuck beyond these means. I think, I need your help, to pick me up, to pull me up. So, I can be set…free!
Sometimes it’s hard to believe, that I’ll ever achieve. Any of my aspirations and dreams. Sometimes I feel I’ve got the right…I need to bleed. It’s the pain that helps me to see who I am…to set me free.
I don’t want to try. Because, I know I’ll cry
I ‘m afraid, of what the future will bring
I’ve got the time, and it seems like such a crime,
to let the future waste away in front of me.
Cathartic to my soul this song bleeds from my heart.
I know…I need to be strong!
