We were only little boys
Wild and free upon the Berno
Sunset's hidden by the hills
The streets of San Francisco

See I don't remember when you came
I could imagine the smile on momma's face
But things don't always turn out the way
We want it to be
But I know there's gotta be

There's gotta be a reason for everything
Why you smile through weakness
It still amazes me
There's gotta be a reason for everything
I don't claim to know the answers
Trust in the father and you'll see
That there's a reason for everything

It's been a while since those simple days
Days that seem to keep forever
You seem so close but yet so far away
And I'd wonder what you'd say

Sometimes I'd forget we're not the same
But through your eyes
I could see the whole world change
And things don't always turn out the way we want it to be
But I know there's gotta be

Sometimes life don't make sense at all
One day it's blue skies, sunny
Another day the rain begins to pour
I'll lay my life down on the line
Because I love you
I love you
