all for the one right reason

don't take that leap just because
you're afraid of standing still
don't rush in without love
because you think you never will

don't run away in that direction
just to get away from here
think about where you're headin
and let this truth always be clear

you've gotta do it all for the one right reason
not for the dozen ways I've hurt
I know your heart is in a rainy season
and you've got few places left to turn
but you've got a love that died once for you
and can bring your heart to life again
whatever you do, do it
all for the one right reason

I can think of a lot of reasons why
you would want to move along
there's some security in giving it a try
and you'll know what road you're on
you've practiced hard without having things right
surely a seed of love ie enough to start on
but there's only one reason that matters tonight
and will with each new day's dawn

you've gotta do it all for the one right reason
not for the dozen ways you've been hurt
your heart is drenched in a rainy season
and you've got few places left to turn
but you've got a love that died once for you
and can bring your life to life again
whatever you do, do it
all for the one right reason
