"One Reason (To Believe)" lyrics - RICK SPRINGFIELD

Lighting candles in the church of my choice
Loving strangers in the dark
Looking for someone to give me what I lack
Searching for something 'til you showed me
The gun in my back

I'm human and I need it
And I must have my beliefs
I open myself to the love
And I love you 'cause you showed me
A merciful release
I'm living this time and I know you gave
me the reason

[Chorus:]
One reason (to believe), one reason
(you're the one)
One reason (to believe), one reason (my baby)
One reason (it's all I need), one reason
(to believe)

Trying to get faith from the $8.50 paperbacks
Hoping they'll show me the way
(the way to what?)
Man in a crisis, a young girl in his bed
She's trying to help him when she tells him
It's all in his head

I'm human and I need it
And I must have my beliefs
I open myself to the love
And I love you 'cause you showed me
A merciful release
I'm living this time and I know you
gave me the reason

[Chorus]

I bow to the east or I kneel to the west
It's a matter of faith
I'm the only one who has to believe it

[Chorus]

I bow to the east or I kneel to the west
It's a matter of faith
I'm the only one who has to believe it

[Chorus]
