When the pieces seem too shattered
To gather off the floor
And all that seems to matter
Is that I don't feel you anymore
No, I don't feel you anymore

I need a reason to sing
I need a reason to sing
I need to know that you're still holding
The whole world in your hands
I need a reason to sing

When I'm overcome by fear
And I hate everything I know
If this waiting lasts forever
I'm afraid I might let go
I'm afraid I might let go

I need a reason to sing
I need a reason to sing
I need to know that you're still holding
The whole world in your hands
And I need a reason to sing

If there be a victory
Will you sing it over me now
Your peace is the melody
Will you sing it over me now
If there be a victory
Will you sing it over me now
Oh Lord, your peace is the melody
Will you sing it over me now

I need a reason to sing
I need a reason to sing
I need to know that you're still holding
The whole world in your hands
And that is a reason to sing
