One reason

Lighting candles in the church of my choice
Loving strangers in the dark
Looking for someone to give me what I lack
Searching for something 'til you showed me
The gun in my back

I'm human and I need it
And I must have my beliefs
I open myself to the love (yea)
I love you 'cause you showed me
A merciful release
I'm living this time and I know you gave
Me the reason

One reason (to believe), one reason (you're the one)
One reason (to believe), one reason (my baby)
One reason (it's all I need), one reason (to believe)

Trying to get faith from the $8.50 paperbacks
Hoping they'll show me the way (the way to what)
Man in a crisis, a young girl in his bed
She's trying to help him when she tells him
It's all in his head I'm human and I need it
I must have my beliefs
I open myself to the love (yea)
I love you 'cause you showed me
A merciful release
I'm living this time and I know you gave
Me the reason

One reason (to believe), one reason (you're the one)
One reason (to believe), one reason (my baby)
One reason (it's all I need), one reason (to believe)

I bow to the east or I kneel to the west
It's a matter of faith
I'm the only one who has to believe it

One reason (to believe), one reason (you're the one)
One reason (to believe), one reason (my baby)
One reason (it's all I need), one reason (to believe)

I bow to the east or I kneel to the west
It's a matter of faith
I'm the only one who has to believe it

One reason (to believe), one reason (you're the one)
One reason (to believe), one reason (my baby)
One reason (it's all I need), one reason (to believe)
