Everything Happens For a Reason

words and music: Allan Thomas

1 - If you're gonna get close to the sun
Don't complain if you get a mean sunburn
When you fall from such lofty heights
You come back to earth in the blink of an eye
Things happen for a reason
For a reason

2 - Started out like a house on fire
Became a pile of smoldering embers
What sprouted wings in May
Expired in September
Things happen for a reason
I say everything happens for a reason

* Whether it's sunny or freezin'
Bad news or pleasin'
If you're full grown or teethin'
Still kicking' around
Or stopped breathin'
It happened for a reason
Everything happens for a reason

It's hidden in plain view
If one has eyes to see
For a reason some kind of reason

3 - She's an angel with horns a beautiful liar
Shook the walls of my vast empire
Had me spinning like a top
But I never seen a leopard lose it's spots no
Must've happened for a reason

* Whether it's odds or evens
You're laughin' out loud or grieving'
If you're main squeeze ain't squeezing'
Or if somebody been deceivin'
Well it happened for a reason
Cause everything happens for a reason
For a reason some kind some kind some kind of reason
