A Reason For Living

Quo

I felt in need of some loving

So I sat down on a wall

I tried to find a reason for living

But I couldn't find a reason at all

So I owned up to my maker

And I started to say a prayer

I waited for an answer

But there wasn't anybody there

I thought there should have been someone

But I wasn't quite sure who

It finished me to find there was no-one

That I could take my troubles to

So I knelt down by my bedside

And I started to say a prayer

It was when I asked for nothing

I could feel that there was somebody there

I'm looking still, but it's easy

'cos I know which way to go

It doesn't matter how long it takes me

'cos there's someone there to help me who knows

All the things that I am after

All the loving that I want to share

It's so hard but I don't mind

'cos there really is somebody there

I felt in need of some loving

So I sat down on a wall

I tried to find a reason for living

But I couldn't find a reason at all

So I owned up to my maker

And I started to say a prayer

I waited for an answer

But there wasn't anybody there
