There is a Reason

Caedmon's Call

late at night I wonder why
sometimes I wonder why
sometimes I’m so tired
I don’t even try
seems everything around me fails
but I hold on to the promise
that there is a reason

late at night,
the darkness makes it hard to see
the history of the saints
who’ve gone in front of me
through famine, plague and disbelief
His hand was still upon them
cause there is a reason
there is a reason

He makes all things good
He makes all things good
there’s a time to live
and a time to die a time
for wonder and to wonder why
cause there is a reason
there is a reason
i believe in a God who sent
His only son to walk upon
this world and give His life for us
with blood and tears on a long, dark night
we know that He believed that
there is a reason
there is a reason

for the lonely nights
and broken hearts
the widow's mite
in the rich man's hand
and the continent whose blood
becomes a traitor for
the child afraid to close their eyes
the prayers that seem unanswered
there is a reason there is a reason
