Leaves in Flames - Reason to Be

Time is passing by and no one has the words
To defeat devil and crime and change the world
I've walked the streets of distant realities
But I remember laughter and I remember it every day

Out in the storm I met a man from a different kind
Spoke words of wisdom that cut right through the wind
"When there's no God, what's the point of it all?
Is it about the glitter and gold? Please I need to know!"

"I'm just a poor guy, tryin' to make ends meet
what should I know about a life in peace?
It's getting dark out there or is it just me?
Oh, can you show me my eternity?"

The wise man called me out: "Boy, what are you waiting for?
Will you stay silent till your fate knocks on the door?
Or will you fight till your critics all pass by?
You have to choose, but choose in time!

Stay! Don't fade away!
When you're estranged
And remember me!
Oh, can't you see
That there's a need
To find your reason to be

I heard the words but I didn't understand
How life and death could go hand in hand
"Seize the day!", that's what he meant
But now he's gone and I've lost a friend

The weather cleared, I stood in front of a splitted path
My decision what life I'm gonna have
Led by joy or filled with regret
I know my limits are the limits I set

Stay! Don't fade away!
When you're estranged
And remember me!
Oh, can't you see
That there's a need
To find your reason to be

Time is passing by and no one has the words
To defeat devil and crime and change the world
