Give me a reason for giving
Give me a reason to take
Give me a reason for loving, daddy
Won’t you give me a reason to hate?
Give me a reason for laughter
Give me a reason to cry
Give me a reason for living, daddy
Won’t you give me a reason why?
Won’t you give me a reason why?
Fly like a silver bird
Cry on a broken word
Follow your dreams
Laying foundations for new generations
Think of the good things you’ll see
Lookin’ at me with those pretty blue eyes
Asking me thing I just can’t describe
“Daddy, who’s God,
What’s on his mind?”
“That’s a good question” I reply
Tell me a story, sing me a song
Don’t make it too short,
But don’t make it too long
Tell me the difference
Between right and wrong
In time, all these answers will come along
In time, all these answers will come along
Fly like a silver bird
Cry on a broken word
Follow your dreams
Laying foundations for new generations
Think of the good things you’ll see
Give me a reason for giving
Give me a reason to take
Give me a reason for loving, daddy
Won’t you give me a reason to hate?
Give me a reason for laughter
Give me a reason to cry
Give me a reason for living, daddy
Won’t you give me a reason why?
Won’t you give me a reason why?
