Verso 1

Mama dragged us to church
Every Sunday
And Heaven knows
I didn't want to go
The preacher talked too long
And I didn't like those songs
That hour and fifteen went
By way too slow

Pré refrão 1

I asked my mother
Why do we bother
She smiled and said from
Deep down in her soul

Refrão 1

Love is the reason
Love is the reason
Love is the reason that I go
Standing up for what
I believe in
That's where my heart is leading
And love is the reason that I go

Verso 2

Time went by and we got
A little older
My brother signed up
To wear that army green
Fighting the good fight
And leaving home behind
Giving everything
To be all he could be

Pré refrão 2

I asked my brother
Why do you bother
He stood up tall
And said these words to me

Refrão 2

Love is the reason
Love is the reason yeah
Love is the reason that I go
I’m gonna fight for
What I believe in
That's where my heart is leading
And love is the reason that I go

Ponte

Love is strong and love is kind
Love will go the extra mile
It ain't scared to pay the price
Love will always sacrifice

Verso 3

Walking up the hill
That stood before Him
Carrying that cross
To bear our shame
If I could ask Him why
He was laying down His life
I know that
I would hear my Jesus say

Refrão 3

Love is the reason
Love is the reason yeah
Love is the reason that I go
I give my life for
What I believe in
That's where my heart is leading
And love is the reason that I go

Repete

Oh love is the reason
That I go
