Count down the many times i stepped
upon your face while you were down
you never had a thing to say
you held it all inside

but you were not afraid
and i could go insane
just to know the reason why
to know the reason why

you knew my strength
you knew my pain
and you held me in your grace
you took this life and found a way
to help me find my place

you know the reason for my life
could never be what i have seen
you never had a thing to say
you held it all inside

but you were not afraid
and i could go insane
just to know the reason why
to know the reason why
