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
