The Reason Lyrics

Oh the pride and the ego used to run my life
It's hard for me to say, but I was finally flat
All the power and the glory, yeah I had it all
Oh, the selfishness, that's where I was at

I forgot who I was
Lord you know I forgot you
But you never forgot me
No you never forgot me

Calling
Is in your hands, you've given everything to me
Lord you are the reason I stand here today
Lifting my voice, raising you up, cos I believe
Oh I believe I'm nothing, nothing without you

All my second chances, they were not deserved
Why you never gave up, it's a mystery
My strength is my faith and my faith is in you
Now I understand it's not about me

I'll not waste another day
Lord use me as you will
I surrender all
I surrender all

Calling
Is in your hands, you've given everything to me
Lord you are the reason I stand here today
Lifting my voice, raising you up, cos I believe
Oh I believe I'm nothing, nothing without you
Nothing without you
Nothing without you

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.
