The Reason

I come from
A long line of chance takers and dream shakers
Raised to believe more afraid to stay than leave
But I always knew what I had to do
And with a pocket full of change
And a suitcase in my hand
This small-town boy became a man

I never gave up
I shone into the black
Even if it broke me
I never looked back
How would I know, if I never tried?
I never stopped believing
In the reason why

London lights
And those lonely, lonely nights
Longing for a friend every now and then
I learned how to stand out from the crowd
Dared to breathe, my heart on my sleeve
As the years grew deeper
These roots into the ground
This lost soul is finally found

I never gave up
I shone into the black
Even if it broke me
I never looked back
How would I know, if I never tried?
I never stopped believing
In the reason why

What's already written
Is already planned
Keep the faith and let fate play its hand
Yeah, yeah

I never gave up
I shone into the black
Even if it broke me
I never looked back (Never looked back)
How would I know, if I never tried?
I never stopped believing
No, I never stopped believing
In the reason why

I come from
A long line of chance takers and dream shakers
