Story Behind The Song

While working for a large telecom company, the management informed me that they were rolling out a new internal company motto. I liked it so much that I wrote a song about it in hopes that it would be picked up as a the theme song and spread throughout the country. Unfortunately I was overshadowed by a massive reorganization and the song never got heard by the CEO. Months later, this song is still inspiration for me to keep on keeping on and fight for my dreams!

Song Description

Everyone has a time where they feel as though they are just going through motions of life. Maybe it's laziness or just passive energy. But everyone wants to come to a realization that they can control their life, break out of their shell and make wonderful things happen.

Lyrics

Waking up to the day at hand
To-do list sitting on the night stand and
My alarm's singing the same old tune

About to hit snooze but it don't seem right
Something in my head says to put up a fight
And I'm seeing the news

When my head starts shaking and my heart starts aching
I just don't know what to do
When the path I'm making and the life I'm faking
Keeps bringing on the blues...it's time to

Be the reason, when the game's down to the line
Be the reason, it's my time to shine
Be the reason, when no one else is
Be the reason, it's how I work, it's how I live...to be the reason

Getting by any way I can
Before making lists, now making plans
I'm waking up on my own, birds singing a different song

About to make moves but I'm still fearful
Something on my mind but I gotta break through it all
And I see the news

When my head starts shaking and my heart starts aching
I just don't know what to do
When the path I'm making and the life I'm faking
Keeps bringing on the blues...it's time to

Be the reason, when the game's down to the line
Be the reason, it's my time to shine
Be the reason, when no one else is
Be the reason, it's how I work, it's how I live...to be the reason
