Half A Million Reasons

Carolyn Arends

What's the matter with this world?
Why does everything have to be so hard?
What's the point in even getting out of bed
In the morning?

I can think of
A half a million reasons
You should get up
Even when you're thinking
No one cares and what's the use
Why would anyone need you
Well I can think of half a million reasons

Who else would know just when to call?
When to lend a shoulder, when to give me a shove?
Why does it always feel so good to see your face
In my doorway?

I can think of…

There's still a lot of things in life for you
Faith is one and hope is two
Love should count for three or four
And if you've got time for more

I can think of
A half a million reasons
You should get up
Even when you're thinking
No one cares and what's the use
Why does anyone need you
I do, and that's the truth
And I can think of half a million reasons
Why

Faith is what I hope for you
Love is gonna get you through
And if I'm not convincing you
I can think of a half a million reasons
