Lyrics
Gimme something that will make me feel good
Need a reason to try
Don't believe it if they say it's real good
They only want you to buy
Don't need love in your arms
When you hit the ground running beyond
And the dreams that you farm
They say
Don't need a reason to pray, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Gimme something that will make me jump high
Get my feet off the ground
Don't believe it if they say it's too late
They want to stifle the sound
Don't need love in your arms
When you hit the ground running beyond
And the dreams that you farm
They say
Don't need a reason to pray, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Gimme something that will make me jump high
Or get my feet off the ground
Don't believe 'em if they say it's too late
They want to stifle the sound
Don't need love in your arms
When you hit the ground running beyond
And the dreams that you farm
They say
Don't need love in your arms
When you hit the ground running beyond
And the dreams that you farm
They say
You need a reason to pray
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
