Lyrics
Need a Reason
Out on the edge of history An age of secrets and mystery At the end of our tether Is this the start of a better day? Out on the edge You can't escape There ain't no use We're all part of this thing We need a reason To believe In a better day We need a reason To believe We've been living in a world of our own And it's too late now It's the only one we know There's no telling what tomorrow will bring But it doesn't matter now It's the only one we know Out on the edge You can't escape There ain't no use We're all part of this thing We need a reason To believe In a better day We need a reason To believe
