Lyrics
No Reason at All
Cindy Lou is 5 months pregnant
Taking every shift she can get
Johnny is leaving for Jersey
Says he can’t afford a baby yet
Reverend Peter stands at the pulpit
where he’s stood for over 25 years
Lately he’s starting to doubt the Lord but he
can’t let the sinners see his fears
Sometimes you find out that life
happens for no reason at all
No reason at all
Cindy goes and speaks to the preacher
She says, “Father I feel lost and afraid -
Lately I’m stuck here all alone and
I’ve never once forgotten to pray”
Reverend takes her hand with a shiver,
says “who knows what God does with his grace?”
He swore he’d never deny the Lord but he
forgets Him at the sight of her face
Sometimes you find out that life happens for no reason at all
For no reason at all
They were married just a few months later
in time to make Cindy an honest girl
She named her baby boy Adam
hoping he could start himself a brand new world
Sometimes you find out that life
Happens for no reason at all
No reason at all
Winter, spring, summer or fall
For no reason at all
