A Reason For Living

Status Quo

I felt in need of some loving


So I sat down on a wall


I tried to find a reason for living


But I couldn't find a reason at all


So I owned up to my maker


And I started to say a prayer


I waited for an answer


But there wasn't anybody there


I thought there should have been someone


But I wasn't quite sure who


It finished me to find there was no-one


That I could take my troubles to


So I knelt down by my bedside


And I started to say a prayer


It was when I asked for nothing


I could feel that there was somebody there


I'm looking still, but it's easy


'cos I know which way to go


It doesn't matter how long it takes me


'cos there's someone there to help me who knows


All the things that I am after


All the loving that I want to share


It's so hard but I don't mind


'cos there really is somebody there


I felt in need of some loving


So I sat down on a wall


I tried to find a reason for living


But I couldn't find a reason at all


So I owned up to my maker


And I started to say a prayer


I waited for an answer


But there wasn't anybody there
