lyrics

Written by Carolyn Arends and Connie Harrington.

What’s the matter with this world?
Why does everything have to be so hard?
What’s the point in even getting out of bed
In the morning?

I can think of
A half a million reasons
You should get up
Even when you’re thinking
No one cares and what’s the use
Why would anyone need you
Well I can think of half a million reasons

Who else would know just when to call?
When to lend a shoulder, when to give me a shove?
Why does it always feel so good to see your face
In my doorway?

I can think of…

There’s still a lot of things in life for you
Faith is one and hope is two
Love should count for three or four
And if you’ve got time for more

I can think of
A half a million reasons
You should get up
Even when you’re thinking
No one cares and what’s the use
Why does anyone need you
I do, and that’s the truth
And I can think of half a million reasons
Why
