The Only Reason You're Alive :: Joe Sims :: Live From the Studio

Lyrics:
I saw and old man standing on the corner
He was holding up a worn out cardboard sign
Wounded warrior written with a marker
Vietnam 1969

Yellow turned to red and I stopped moving
I looked down at my phone to pass the time
I’m sure he knew what I was doing
I was trying to keep his eyes from meeting mine

Don’t go looking for something
You don’t want to find
Don’t forget to always keep an open mind
There’s freedom in forgiveness
There’s no such thing as try
It all goes by in the blink of an eye
And love’s the only reason your alive

I could tell the light turned green without looking
I heard some people honking from behind
Something made me pull off on the shoulder
And reach down in my pocket for a five

When he walked up to my window he was smiling
He said thank you, son, god bless you for your help
I said I wish I had a million more that I could give
He just laughed and said these words I won’t forget

Don’t go looking for something
You don’t want to find
Don’t forget to always keep an open mind
There’s freedom in forgiveness
There’s no such thing as try
It all goes by in the blink of an eye
And love’s the only reason your alive

If it feels like your life is a winding road
And you’re walking in the dark all alone
Call your mom or call a friend, just let somebody in
You’ll find your way back home

Don’t go looking for something
You don’t want to find
Don’t forget to always keep an open mind
Don’t look down on nobody
Cuz we all need help sometimes
It all goes by in the blink of an eye
And love’s the only reason your alive
