You Are the Reason

This song fleshes out the competing emotions between the dedication of the man to Mary and the imperative he feels to share his new found vision.

Lyrics:

You are the reason I have stayed far from the lights so long

You are the reason I am here

I pledge myself to you, and stay with you, I will my love

You are the reason I am here


each day I wake into a new reality

without a future or a past

with you beside me, there's so much more that I could be

before the die is finally cast


The lights are calling out to me, I want to answer to their plea

but I don't answer to their call

I've answered in so many lives, I'd rise from that eternal sea

and show the way to one and all


You sail with me into each new reality

We live each moment here and now

our strength together let's us build and live in our own world

We always find a way somehow


I forsake all the world for you, to spend my moments in your eyes

In every moment, I will stay

I feel the world pulling me, to what I'd be, if I were free

So many things that I would say


Like how to burst out of this shell they call their life

into a new reality

They'd flow among their Selves remembering a fuller "I"

Remembering what it is to Be


You follow me out to the edge of what we call reality

and then we jump into the flow

Realities are flashing by, as we both fly, throughout it all

We always know which way to go


This shared continuum of moments of our lives

is what we call reality

We shine together and illuminate the world for all

So they can see what we can see
