Story Behind The Song
As a marketer (that's my background) I was thinking about phrases / sentiments that are universal.
As a citizen of the planet, I was thinking about the many, MANY problems we face.
As a human being, I was thinking about my own hopes and wishes ... not just myself but for all of us ... in the future.

Lyrics
There are days when all the news gets sadder by the hour
Times so bad I have to wonder where is the Higher Power
When desperate people walk the streets with no place else to go
And drought and heat and hurricanes wash over all we know
Chorus: But no matter what comes our way
I need to believe
I've got to believe that
Everything happens for a reason
Whether we understand it or not
And if everything happens for a reason
Whether we want to face it or not
Then there must be a higher plan
We're all right in God's hands?
They say to everything there is a season
And that everything happens...
Everything happens for a reason
While guns and greed and governments spread misery on earth
I wonder if we've all forgotten what a life is worth
I'm tryin' to remember what they taught me long ago
I wish I knew that everything I learned is really so
But no matter what comes our way
I need to believe
I've got to believe that
Chorus: Everything happens for a reason
Whether we understand it or not
And if everything happens for a reason
Whether we want to face it or not? Then there must be a higher plan
And we're all right in God's hands?
They say to everything there is a season
And that everything happens...
Everything happens for a reason
Everything happens for a reason
Whether we understand it or not
Then there must be a higher plan
And we're all right in God's hands
They say to everything there is a season
And that
Everything happens...
Everything happens for a reason
?For a Reason.
Everything happens ... for a reason ... ?Everything happens ... for a reason.
