A Reason for Living

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
