The Reason - Son Volt

If ever there was a reason

To dance around the sun

That you may discover in time

You may need to cut and run

You say you like rainy weather

Like they have in the Northwest

Or maybe California

Where everything seems best

If ever there was a reason

To get the lead out of your feet

To the songs of saints and sinners

Take the bitter with the sweet

You can see the rainbows

As something more than colored sky

All the fury of the downpour

Can be a blessing in disguise

Get ahead of your demons

Draw the line at your command

All your forces moving forward

Throw it down that hat in hand

Time and tide wait for no one

Put your shoulder to the wheel

Give your best and take flight

Use your smile as your shield

You may fall on stony ground

Hold the line and stay sound

With the company that you keep

Still waters run deep

Cast your bread upon the waters

Keep the love that’s in your heart

Use the knowledge that you gain

Keep your soul as right as rain

You can see the rainbows

As something more than colored sky

All the fury of the downpour

Can be a blessing in disguise

You can see the rainbows

As something more than colored sky

All the fury of the downpour

Can be a blessing in disguise
