{verse 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
{pre-chorus}
When i asked my mother, "why do we bother?"
She smiled and said from deep down in her soul
{chorus}
Love is the reason, love is the reason
Oh, 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
{verse 2}
Time went by and we got a littlе older
My brother signed up to wеar that army green
Fighting the good fight and leaving home behind
Giving everything to be all he could be
{pre-chorus}
And i asked my brother, "why do you bother?"
He stood up tall and said these words to me
{chorus}
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
{bridge}
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
{verse 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
{chorus}
Love is the reason, love is the reason
Yeah, love is the reason that i go
I'll give my life for what i believe in
That's where my heart is leading
And love is the reason that i go
Oh, love is the reason that i go
