Reasons For Love
Life is kind of nice
But it ain't no big surprise
That sometimes it is deeper than the grave
When all your mind is hazy
When all the world is crazy
And you think: Oh my God, is anyone ever gonna be saved?

When greed has become the boss
When logic is nailed hard upon the cross
When generosity is a beggar in the street
When your heart aches so badly
When your song resounds so sadly
And when the rose in your heart turns out to be a stone

Then look upon a mother's love
Look upon the stars above
The changing of the seasons
You'll find many reasons
Not to give up
But for to love

When the world is the devil's spouse
When the world is a silly madman's house
And when potential Hitler-voters is all you meet
When your heart feels like a stoned Islamic whore
Because the world has been stoned by too many wars
And when religion, politics and law is a crime

Then look upon a mother's love
Look upon the stars above
The changing of the seasons
You'll find many reasons
Not to give up
But for to love

My stomach burns like the rising sun
My heart is cold like a winter's rain
People suppress each other and praise "God's only son"
My coming wrinkles are shaped by pain

Oh, look upon a mother's love
Look upon the stars above
The changing of the seasons
You will find many reasons
Not to give up
But for to love
For to love
For to love
