These Are the Reasons Lyrics

Whenever I feel I've got nothing to live for that life's just a four letter word
I stop and I look at the beauty around me and something inside me is thirst
The deep winding rivers that flow on forever the mountains that reach to the sky
I find myself counting my blessings and thinking the good Lord that I am alive
These are the reasons that keep me believin' whenever I question my birth
These are the reasons that keep me believin' my reasons for living on earth
[ piano ]
I look at the sunrise that comes up each morning the sunset when dark shadows fall
I walk through a garden where flowers are blooming
And I know there's a place for us all
These are the reasons...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
