I thank the Lord for giving me good skin.

I have never gotten sunburnt before no matter how... intense the sun is. Haha.

I know posting lyrics on blogs is sooo lame but haha, I can't help it

Brett Dennen- Ain't No Reason

There ain't no reason things are this way


It's how they always been and they intend to stay

I can't explain why we live this way

We do it everyday

Preachers on the podium speakin' of saints

Prophets on the sidewalk beggin' for change

Old ladies laughing from the fire escape,

cursing my name

I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same

A window and a pigeon with a broken wing

You can spend you whole life working for something

Just to have it taken away

People walk around pushing back their debts

Wearing pay checks like necklaces and bracelets

Talking 'bout nothing, not thinking 'bout death

Every little heartbeat, every little breath

People walk a tight rope on a razors edge

Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons

It could be a bomb or a bullet or a pen

Or a thought or a word or a sentence



There ain't no reason things are this way

It's how they always been and they intend to stay

I don't know why I say the things I say

But I say them anyway

But love will come set me free

Love will come set me free, I do believe

Love will come set me free, I know it will

Love will come set my free, yes



Prison walls still standing tall

Some things never change at all

Keep on building prisons, gonna fill them all

Keep building bombs, gonna drop them all

Working your fingers bare to the bone

Breaking your back make you sell your soul

Like a lung that's filled with coal

Suffocating slow

The wind blows wild and I may move

The politicians lie and I am not fooled

You don't need no reason or a three piece suit

To argue the truth

The air on my skin and the world under my toes

Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes

Chaos and commotion wherever I go

Love I try to follow



Love will come set me free

Love will come set me free, I do believe

Love will come set me free, I know it will

Love will come set my free, yes



There ain't no reason things are this way

It's how they always been and they intend to stay

I can't explain why we live this way

We do it everyday
