The Reason I Sing Lyrics

If it's just to top a song chart
To feed the kids and get a bigger car
The skies already got enough stars
And they all sing Your name

And if I'm here to write a number one
To get a gold or maybe platinum
Make me a singer who is unsung
'Cause You won't share Your fame

[CHORUS]
'Cause even accolades someday will fade away
Oh just like me
Yes everything but You, yeah
And many years from now
It won't matter how I write the rhymes I do, yeah
Help me get back to the reason I sing for You

I'm always looking for the limelight
To dim my house and make the stages bright
Compared to You I'm just a night light
Against the blazing sun

I enter rooms and hope they notice me
To fill my social insecurities
I'm asking is there any hope for me
'Cause there's only room here for one

[CHORUS]

Why are we so convinced a bigger audience
Is simply common sense to have?
Maybe success is measured best
By nothing less than our obedience

So if I'm destined for a small stage,
The small crowds and the small pay,
then maybe in a small way I can bring you fame, yeah

[CHORUS]
Oh, Oh oh
Help me get back to the reason I sing for You
