The Reason I Sing-Jimmy Needham

[00:15.23]If its just to top a song chart [00:19.21]To feed the kids and get a bigger car [00:23.18]The skies already have a lot of stars [00:27.23]And they all sing Your name [00:30.00] [00:31.24]And if I'm here to write a #1 [00:35.14]To get a gold or maybe platinum [00:39.14]Make me a singer who is unsung [00:43.14]Cuz You won't share fame [00:45.86] [00:47.24]Cuz even accolades someday will fade away [00:52.65]Oh just like me [00:56.20]Yes everything but You, yeah [01:03.28]And many years from now it won't matter [01:08.28]How I write the rhymes I do, yeah [01:12.78]Help me get back to the reason I sing for You [01:17.70] [01:19.39]I'm always looking for the limelight [01:23.23]To dim my house and make the stages bright [01:27.19]Compared to You I'm just a night light [01:31.22]Against the blazing sun [01:34.05] [01:35.17]I enter rooms and hope they notice me [01:39.18]To fill my social insecurities [01:43.21]I'm asking if there's any hope for me [01:47.07]Cuz there is room for only one [01:49.93] [01:51.32]Cuz even accolades someday will fade away [01:56.68]Oh just like me [02:00.53]Yes everything but You, yeah [02:07.30]And many years from now it won't matter [02:12.32]How I write the rhymes I do, yeah [02:16.97]Help me get back to the reason I sing for You [02:23.76] [02:25.00]Why are we so convinced a bigger audience [02:29.30]Is simply common sense to have? [02:32.70]Maybe success is measured best [02:35.68]By nothing less then our obedience [02:41.42] [02:59.27]So if I'm destined for a small stage [03:03.21]The small crowds and the small pay [03:07.08]Then maybe even in a small way [03:11.41]I can bring You fame [03:15.13] [03:15.59]Cuz even accolades someday will fade away [03:20.67]Oh just like me [03:24.47]Yes everything but You, yeah [03:31.41]And many years from now it won't matter [03:36.35]How I write the rhymes I do, yeah [03:40.90]Help me get back to the reason I sing for You [03:48.00] [03:48.76]Help me get back to the reason I sing for You [04:00.93]
