Akala – Another Reason Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1
- Water cuts rock, so which has more force?
- As water shapes the land, it's still willing to change it's course
- So can't even change your own minds? Usually change nothing
- Can't ever blame your own mind? Always blame something
- But in failure, hides opportunity divided communities still residing is unity
- Waiting to show itself soon as we're ready to see it
- Truth is always there, soon as we are ready to be it
- So we can keep pretending what's real is just the senses
- But it is all the same when you're looking with stronger lenses
- So concerned with images, but it's there in the words
- Images are just imagination, that's what's so absurd
- Have you heard the Pig now knows it's fat?
- And the Zebra is confused because it's white and it's black?
- So what's fact, right and exact when everything changes
- Change the way you look at the world, the world changes
Hook
- Instead of reasons to die, find a reason to live
- Instead of reasons to fight, find a reason to give
- Instead of reasons to talk, find a reason to sing
- Instead of reasons to take, find a reason to bring
- Instead of reasons for I, find a reason for we
- Instead of reasons to try, find a reason to be
- Instead of reasons to look, find a reason to see
- People, I am pleading, find another reason
Verse 2
- We are so busy noticing money don't grow on trees
- We forgot that food does and that it's the food that we need
- You see, I done traveled all over the Isles
- And seen the poorest people with the wealthiest smiles
- So what is Rich or Poor, Less or More?
- What's victory? What's defeat? And who keeps the score?
- Who sleeps more soundly, the Prince or the Pauper?
- Who speaks more profoundly, the Professor or just the talker?
- The walker or the driver, who travels the furthest?
- The explorer or the pirate, who is providing a service?
- Who decides what is worthless, versus what has a purpose?
- Did the so-called civilized world not think the earth a flat surface yesterday?
- So, who knows what tomorrow brings?
- It often is the oddest of songs that tomorrow sings
- Look back through the ages, everything changes
- Change the way you look at the world, the world changes
Hook
- Instead of reasons to die, find a reason to live

- Instead of reasons for I, find a reason for we
- Instead of reasons to try, find a reason to be
- Instead of reasons to look, find a reason to see
- People, I am pleading, find another reason
Breakdown
- We find all these reasons,
- To never be the person we want to be
- Because I'm still healing,
- All these wounds that are burned,
- So deep inside of me.
Verse 3
- We think that we're smart and that makes us dumb
- Think that we feel the most and that makes us numb
- Weak because we think that we have the power
- Because we can make buildings and guns, but not a single flower
- We're just waves but think we're the ocean
- Because it's easier then admitting
- We don't know where the current is going
- We're just flowing
- Why do we feel it needs controlling?
- Waves just rolls with the ocean until they reach the sand
- So let's roll with our part, until we reach our land
- Acknowledge that the fear in our hearts, totally in our hands
- It's not a thing, we just think,
- Imagine the Earth decided that it was afraid to spin?
- So don't be afraid, to sing with your voice
- That's what it is for
- The more we run from truth, the closer it gets to your door
- Look back through the ages, everything changes
- Change the way you look at yourself, the self changes
