Jimmy Needham - The Reason I Sing

@ 活在當下 制作

If its just to top a song chart

To feed the kids and get a bigger car

The skies already have a lot of stars

And they all sing Your name

And if I'm here to write a #1

To get a gold or maybe platinum

Make me a singer who is unsung

Cuz You won't share fame

Cuz even accolades someday will fade away

Oh just like me

Yes everything but You, yeah

And many years from now it won't matter

How I write the rhymes I do, yeah

Help me get back to the reason I sing for You

I'm always looking for the limelight

To dim my house and make the stages bright

Compared to You I'm just a night light

Against the blazing sun

I enter rooms and hope they notice me

To fill my social insecurities

I'm asking if there's any hope for me

Cuz there is room for only one

Cuz even accolades someday will fade away

Oh just like me

Yes everything but You, yeah

And many years from now it won't matter

How I write the rhymes I do, yeah

Help me get back to the reason I sing for You

Why are we so convinced a bigger audience

Is simply common sense to have?

Maybe success is measured best

By nothing less then our obedience

So if I'm destined for a small stage

The small crowds and the small pay

Then maybe even in a small way

I can bring You fame

Cuz even accolades someday will fade away

Oh just like me

Yes everything but You, yeah

And many years from now it won't matter

How I write the rhymes I do, yeah

Help me get back to the reason I sing for You

Help me get back to the reason I sing for You
