You're the Reason that I Sing

If it's just to top a song chart
 To feed the kids and get a bigger car
 The skies already got enough stars
 And they all sing Your name
 And if I'm here to write a number one
 To get a gold or maybe platinum
 Make me a singer who is unsung
 'Cause You won't share your fame
 'Cause even accolades someday will fade away
 Oh, just like me
 Yes, everything but You, yeah
 And many years from now it won't matter how
 I write the rhymes I do, yeah
 Help me get back to the reason I sing for You
 I'm always looking for the limelight
 To dim my house and make the stages bright
 Compared to You I'm just a night light
 Against the blazing sun
 I enter rooms and hope they notice me
 To fill my social insecurities
 I'm asking if there's any hope for me
 'Cause there is room for only one
 'Cause even accolades someday will fade away
 Oh, just like me
 Yes, everything but You, yeah
 And many years from now it won't matter how
 I write the rhymes I do, yeah
 Help me get back to the reason I sing for You
 Why are we so convinced a bigger audience
 Is simply common sense to have?
 Maybe success is measured best
 By nothing less than our obedience
 So if I'm destined for a small stage
 The small crowds and the small pay
 Then maybe even in a small way
 I can bring You fame
 'Cause even accolades someday will fade away
 Oh, just like me
 Yes, everything but You, yeah
 And many years from now it won't matter how
 I write the rhymes I do, yeah
 Help me get back to the reason I sing for You
 Help me get back to the reason I sing for You
