EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON (9)

There are days when all the news gets sadder by the hour
times so bad I have to wonder where is the Higher Power
when desperate people walk the streets with no place else to go
And times we watch as floods and storms wash over all we know

Chorus: But no matter how bad it gets
I need to believe
I?ve got to believe that

Everything happens for a reason
Whether we understand it or not
And if everything happens for a reason
Whether we want to face it or not
Then there must be a higher plan
There must be a higher plan

They say to everything there is a season
And that everything happens?
Everything happens for a reason

While guns and greed and governments spread misery on earth
I wonder if we?ve all forgotten what a life is worth
I?m tryin? to remember what they taught me long ago
I wish I knew that everything I learned is really so

Cause no matter how tough it gets
I need to believe
I?ve got to believe that

Chorus: Everything happens for a reason
Whether we understand it or not
And if everything happens for a reason
Whether we want to face it or not
Then there must be a higher plan
There must be a higher plan

They say to everything there is a season
And that everything happens?
Everything happens for a reason


Everything happens for a reason
Whether we understand it or not
And there must be a higher plan
There must be a higher plan

They say to everything there is a season
So I?ve got to believe
Everything happens?
For a reason

Everything happens ? everything happens for a reason ? for a reason
