Lyrics

I live my life in wonder and I love to laugh and sing
If I had to do it all again you know I wouldn't change a thing
But I'd like to know the reason for the sunshine and the rain
And I'd like to know the purpose in the pain

As another day is laid to rest the city cries herself to sleep
And her children do the best they can
To make it on the streets
And in the midst of all her darkness
There's a light on in her eyes
That searches reams of reason and begs to be told why

Why's it all so hard?
Is there anyone to blame?
And if He counts us all as equals
Why aren't we all the same?
Where is it we go to?
Do we ever begin again?
What's the motive for the madness?
What's the purpose in the pain?

I live my life in wonder and I love to laugh and sing
If I had to do it all again you know I wouldnÕt change a thing
But I'd like to know the reason for the sunshine and the rain
And I'd like to know the purpose in the pain
