Mama dragged us to church every Sunday
And Heaven knows I didn't want to go
The preacher talked too long and I didn't like those songs
That hour and fifteen went by way too slow
When I asked my mother, why do we bother?
She smiled and said from deep down in her soul
Love is the reason, love is the reason
Oh, love is the reason that I go
Standing up for what I believe in
That's where my heart is leading
And love is the reason that I go
Time went by and we got a littlе older
My brother signed up to wеar that army green
Fighting the good fight and leaving home behind
Giving everything to be all he could be
And I asked my brother, why do you bother?
He stood up tall and said these words to me
Love is the reason, love is the reason
Yeah, love is the reason that I go
I'm gonna fight for what I believe in
That's where my heart is leading
And love is the reason that I go
Love is strong and love is kind
Love will go the extra mile
It ain't scared to pay the price
Love will always sacrifice
Walking up the hill that stood before Him
Carrying that cross to bear our shame
If I could ask Him why He was laying down His life
I know that I would hear my Jesus say
Love is the reason, love is the reason
Yeah, love is the reason that I go
I'll give my life for what I believe in
That's where my heart is leading
And love is the reason that I go
Oh, love is the reason that I go
