Reason To Try
(john lind & phil gladston)
Recorded by eric carmen
Arista as1-9746 / 1988
We went runnin
Out where the stars are born
We came crashin down in flames
I could be right
You could be wrong
We could be anything at all
But tonight at least Im sure
I know this rain will pass
We need a reason to try again
I know this pain wont last
We can find those dreams again
I know
We went screamin
Into the dead of night
We were kicking down the door
Now we can go back
We can go on
We can do anything we want
Anything we want and more
I know this rain will pass
We need a reason to try again
I know this pain wont last
We can find those dreams again
I know
We need a reason to smile again
I know
We need a reason to try again
I could be right
You could be wrong
We could be anything at all
But tonight at least Im sure
I know this rain will pass
We need a reason to try again
I know this pain wont last
We can find those dreams again
I know
We need a reason to smile again
I know
We need a reason to try
I know
I know this rain will pass
We need a reason to try again
I know this pain wont last
We can find those dreams again
I know this rain will pass
We need a reason to try again
I know this pain wont last
We can find those dreams again

To come and wash away the pain
Theres nothing like the rain, falling down again
To clear the air so we see again!

A: if I make a promise, Ill never let you down, no no
Love will always break your heart, so they say
But we can turn that round! oh, baby...

A chance to change the world if you want it, you can give up a lot, but dont give in
Be ready for your break when it comes your way
Today I say, hey, prepare, a break in the clouds you will be heard
Raise your voice, stake your claim
After the storm, after the rain!
A:theres nothing like the rain, falling down again
To come and wash away the pain
Wash away the pain theres nothing like the rain
Nothing like the rain
Nothing like the rain
To clear the air so we see again!
And we wont give up
We wont give up!
No, we wont give in
We wont give in
When there is so much we can do
R: yeah check it out, yall
A: and we wont give up
We wont give up
R: we wont give up!

R: we wont give up
A: when there is so much left to do.

Nothing like the rain, nothing like the rain, nothing like the rain
Nothing like the rain

Oblivion
Watching the rain fall down through my window,
I wonder, will i ever be your hero,
I see your hero in the mirror,
I close my eyes and take the pillow
My pride i swallow, love never narrow,
Dont attack me with the arrow,
Lest she becomes a widow
I shed tears in sorrow,
Pain strikes to my marrow,
In your face i see the glow
But i wont see you tomorrow
My heart is darkened, never a glow
But i forget you not
Do you see the poems i write
Or do they just pass in verbatim
Do you find meaning in them
So to love love as it is,
That our dreams will surely pass,
Dressed into miracles,
To make our lives afresh
All thhis shall pass,
Someday you will be in my arms,
Under the blessing of the sky
I will dance with you
Needing you without a reason
My mind so formatted,
Is it not concution,
Its neither an illusion, im in oblivion

All The Talking
I don't like the way I feel
But I don't understand
Why I hide the things I do
And I don't care who's wrong or right
I just need a reason,
A reason just to see it through
And I don't care if I've wasted all your time
'Cause there's dreams that go by
And dreams that you find
And I know what you mean
But I can't hear you
With all the talking, with all the talking
And I know how it seems
But I can't find you
With all the talking
I never mentioned love affairs
That run through my mind
And all the faces you won't see
And you don't know your words have changed
So you keep talking
And there might be something for me
And I don't care if I've wasted all your time
'Cause there's dreams that go by
And dreams that you find
And I know what you mean
But I can't hear you
With all the talking, with all the talking
And I know how it seems
But I can't find you
With all the talking
Can't you feel it
Can't you see
This world just gets me down
When all at once you find a way
To be satisfied
And I don't like the way I feel
But I don't understand
Why I hide the things I do
And I don't care who's wrong or right
I just need a reason,
I need a reason,
I need a reason
Oh I know what you mean
But I can't hear you
With all the talking, with all the talking
And I know how it seems
But I can't find you
With all the talking, with all the talking
I know what you mean,
I know what you mean,
I know what you mean,
I know what you mean

SHE'S SO BEAUTIFUL MEANINGFUL THAT SHE GIVE A SON REASON TOO SHINE, A ROSE REASON TO STAND OUT AMONG FLOWERS, A RAINBOW REASON TO BE BEATIFUL, A SUNSET REASON TO BE PRETTY, A DIAMOND REASON TO BE PRECIOUS, A QUEEN REASON TO BE CARE FOR, HER SMILE REASON TO BE RADIANT AND HER REASON TO BE LOVED.

Where Do You Find Me?
if you search me
if you love me that enough
you will find me in the rain
without an umbrella
you do not find me rushing
i have no reason to
and take the safety of a shed
you will find me shivering
my hair wet and uncombed
you will find me cold
my lips are pale
my arms are shaking
you will find me helpless
and weak and almost dying
you have to find me
i have no reason to live
please....

One Good Reason
Give me one good reason
That I should care
Give me one good reason
And Ill be there
Like a thief youve stolen
Like rain on a grave
Like a priest whos spoken
But failed to save
Now the air is empty
And the ground the same
Love has gone to be buried
Beside my name
Give me one good reason
That I should care
Give me one good reason
And Ill be there
Why couldnt you have told me
About your liars kiss
I cant believe youd leave me
At a time like this
And the wind is howling
And its a dying dream
And my faith is silent
While my doubts scream
Give me one good reason
That I should care
Give me one good reason
And Ill be there
Give me one good reason
Give me one good reason
Give me one good reason
That I should care
Give me one good reason
Give me one good reason
Give me one good reason
That I should care
Give me one good reason
Give me one good reason
Give me one good reason
That I should care

I Dont Want To Go
(released as b-side of its in your eyes single, 1996)
I dont want to see you go
Theres too much to say.
But its gone on for too long
I know how much it hurts to hear
You show it and I know it
So theres no reason for the tears.
I dont want to see you go
Dont want to see you cry.
cos Ive been there and I know it
How much it hurts being left behind
If you hold on, just be strong
Therell come a time.
All things will come to pass, you know
All things will come around
I see your bags are packed
I guess that means you wont be back
Theres nothing left could keep me chained
To get you, bring you back again.
If you hold on, wont be long
Well find our time and place once more
Just hold tight, its alright
Weve been here before.
All things will come to pass, you know
All things will come around.
But if you dont want to stay, say goodbye
My numbers on your wall
cos Ive been there and Ive seen it
Its there beside those other guys
So keep it, you may need it
Theres no more reason for the lies.

God Will Be Back
Between belief and non-belief
Battle the reason and faith
When one fails, the other takes over
Down on our knees, we surrender.
Faith in reason finds no reason in faith
An escaping belief in god's presence
All the testaments don't live up to the truth
When reason reigns, god makes no sense.
But then reasons can't bring solace
Rationality is hard and ruthless
When the fire brings tormenting pain
Reason flees and god soothes like rain.

Wild Child
Ever close your eyes
ever stop and listen
ever feel alive
and you've nothing missing
you don't need a reason
let the day go on and on
Let the rain fall down
everywhere around you
give into it now
let the day surround you
you don't need a reason
let the rain go on and on
What a day
what a day to take to
what a way
what a way
to make it through
what a day
what a day to take to
a wild child
Only take the time
from the helter skelter
every day you find
everything's in kilter
you don't need a reason
let the day go on and on
Every summer sun
every winter evening
every spring to come
every autumn leaving
you don't need a reason
let it all go on and on
What a day
what a day to take to
what a way
what a way
to make it through
what a day
what a day to take to
a wild child
What a day
what a day to take to
What a way
what a way
to make it through
What a day
what a day to take to
a wild child
What a day
what a day to take to
what a way
what a way
to make it through
what a day
what a day to take to
Da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
what a way
what a way
to make it through
Da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da
What a way
what a way
to make it through
what a day
what a day to take to
a wild child
what a day
what a day to take to

A Reason to Smile Today
I saw a reason to smile today
when I saw a butterfly flutter its wings around my way.
I saw a reason to smile today,
when I heard the children laughing and playing
under the warm sun of May.
I saw a reason to smile today,
when I looked up and saw no clouds of gray.
But most of all,
I saw a reason to smile today,
when I saw you pass by, which completed my day.

If There Were!
if there were no darkness,
we would never find the stars!
if there were no waves,
the moon would be powerless.
if there were no bullets,
dead bodies would rise.
if there were no dreams,
we could not face reality!
if there were no hunger,
we would not have a reason.
if there were no suffering,
we could not find freedom!
if there were no lovers,
we would not have children.
if there were no children,
we'd have no reason to be!
if there were no deaths,
life would not be as precious.
if there were no animal within,
we could not find passion!
if there were no fires,
we would be lost to darkness.
if there were no darkness,
we would never find the stars!

No reason
There's nowhere to run.
Nowhere to hide.
Nowhere to wait.
No reason to cry.
All that's left is hope and faith.
Towards a better future is where it awaits.
There's no reason to stay and fight.
No reason to think every thing's alright.
My world right now is like my soul
drenched in rain it feels so old.
During the day I may be fine.
By night I break.I try to deal and be okay for my families' sake.
It doesn't work as well as I'd like.
I wanna leave Florence and get out of sight.
Until I can be happy, and find a reason to live
I feel I have nothing to give.

Rain
Brother, always reaching far too high
But I can see the tragic side, and it aint easy
And brother you wont let anybody help
Why do you sacrifice yourself?
You cant go on this way
Tell me why, oh why?
Why dont you open up your heart?
Let the light from inside
Show us who you are
And when it looks like rain
And when the dark clouds fill your sky
There aint no good reason why
Youve got to feel the pain
Even when it looks like rain
Just hold your head up high
I know the suns gonna shine
Even when it looks like rain
Hey sister, another story must be told
Just count the blessings you still hold
Whats done is done
Hey sister, you can find the one you need
Dont have to live the life you lead
Dont be the lonely one
Tell me why, oh why?
Why dont you open up your heart?
Let the light from inside
Show us who you are
And when it looks like rain
And when the dark clouds fill your sky
There aint no good reason why
Youve got to feel the pain
Even when it looks like rain
Just hold your head up high
I know the suns gonna shine, oooh
Dont get down and dont get washed away, oooh
Just remind yourself every day
That into each life
A little rain must fall
So let it rain
Rain, oooh
Even when it looks like rain
Just hold your head up high
I know the suns gonna shine
Even when it looks like rain
Rain, rain, rain
When it looks like rain . . .

This Will All Make Perfect Sense Someday (Live)
this will all make perfect sense someday
i'll be ok....
this will all maker perfect sense someday
theres got to be a reason for the rain
all my bills have all gotten paid
i shaked the bet, i broke the bet
this could have been a slow song
a laundry list of all the wrongs
but at the end of the day
this is my beautiful disaster piece Ive made
and it goes, and i quote, and i never would lie:
this will all make perfect sense someday
i'll be ok....
this will all maker perfect sense someday
theres got to be a reason for the rain
i don't understand the numbers
but my faith is in the math
and the odds are all that they believe
(inaudible)
and to all the hearts i've broken
and the ones that once broke mine
i've got suspicions all will be forgive in time
all you gotta do is call them up and say:
this will all make perfect sense someday
i'll be ok....
this will all maker perfect sense someday
theres got to be a reason for the rain
and if it ever gets bad, i mean really bad
i'll move to Nova Scotia and forget the life i had
be up at nine each morning down by the shore
collecting things that fell off boats in storms
look here, so i might never but its nice to know the options there
the options there...
this will all make perfect sense someday
i'll be ok....
this will all maker perfect sense someday
theres got to be a reason for the rain
a reason for the rain, a reason for the rain
the reason for the rain, for the rain
and is it a habit i keep biting my lip in the same place

There Is No Heart That Wont Heal
So youre thinking that its over
Cause he said goodbye
Left you with nothing
But the tears in your eyes
You dont know how youre gonna get through this pain
But the rain wont claim your days forever
Chorus
There is no heart that wont heal
There is no tear that wont dry
No matter how lost you feel
Remember there is a light on the other side
There is no night that wont end
No sun that wont shine again
Therell be an end to this hurt that you feel
There is no heart that wont heal
Love can lift you to the heavens
But it can let you down
And the fall aint always easy
I know what youre feeling right now
But in time you wont find a trace of this pain
You get rainbows from rain just remember
Chorus
There is no heart that wont heal
There is no heart that wont heal
There is no heart that wont heal
Hold on gotta be strong
