365 Days of Poetry 05/16/2010 So Many Reasons

[David Hauser]

So many reasons to be down
So many reasons to lie back on the ground
I just can’t help standing up
To let my spirit grow
So many reasons I just might let them go

There was a time when I ran fast with the wind
There was a time when justice seemed to win
But I can’t let sorrow wailer in my path
Cause there is a reason and my love got to last

There on the shores where liberty once lived
I heard my calling and I just had to give
There’s no use in dying, dying doesn’t last
Just a reborn tragedy when I stop running fast

Oh mercy come shouting all over this land
Oh mercy talk sweetly of a righteous plan
No use in sitting or getting what we had
I need a real love so I won’t be so sad
