Let me down slowly
A dog's life is one I'll never have
The bridge may be weak now
But it'll last
Look at you squirm now
In the corner as you battle time
No one holds a candle
But that's no surprise
I've got a reason to try

I've got a reason, hey yeah
They say they'll replace you

Your will becomes smaller as I speak
You didn't ever wanna be the one
You didn't ever wanna cross that bridge at all
I've got a reason to try

Time to be reading the signs
I've got a reason to try
I've got a reason, hey yeah
I spoke to my Father

He enlightened me on the subject of life
He said, you could really be the one
Make it count and see what is returned
I've got a reason to try

Time to be reading the signs
I've got a reason to try
I've got a reason, hey yea
