The Reason I Sing (Acoustic)-Jimmy Needham

[00:15.14]If its just to top a song chart [00:18.70]To feed the kids and get a bigger car [00:22.73]The skies already have a lot of stars [00:26.79]And they all sing your name [00:30.53]And if I'm here to write a number one [00:34.62]To get a gold or maybe platinum [00:38.61]Make me a singer who is unsung [00:42.49]Cause you won't share fame [00:46.77]Cause even accolades someday will fade away [00:51.92]Oh just like me [00:55.77]Yes everything but you yeah [01:02.75]And many years from now it won't matter [01:07.30]How I write the rhymes I do yeah [01:12.39]Help me get back to the reason I sing for you [01:18.64]I'm always looking for the limelight [01:22.51]To dim my house and make the stages bright [01:26.51]Compared to you I'm just a night light [01:30.54]Against the blazing sun [01:34.46]I enter rooms and hope they notice me [01:38.48]To fill my social insecurities [01:42.42]I'm asking if there's any hope for me [01:46.41]Cause there is room for only one [01:50.61]Cause even accolades someday will fade away [01:55.89]Oh just like me [01:59.76]Yes everything but you yeah [02:06.38]And many years from now it won't matter [02:10.67]How I write the rhymes I do yeah [02:16.24]Help me get back to the reason I sing for you [02:24.31]Why are we so convinced a bigger audience [02:28.44]Is simply common sense to have [02:32.07]Maybe success is measured best [02:34.96]By nothing less then our obedience [02:40.84]So if I'm destined for a small stage [02:44.95]The small crowds and the small pay [02:48.84]Then maybe even in a small way [02:52.63]I can bring you fame [02:56.40]Cause even accolades someday will fade away [03:01.87]Oh just like me [03:05.46]Yes everything but you yeah [03:12.69]And many years from now it won't matter [03:16.76]How I write the rhymes I do yeah [03:21.99]Help me get back to the reason I sing for you [03:26.58]Oh oh oh [03:30.02]Help me get back to the reason I sing for you [03:38.34]
