There ain't no reasons things are this way
It's how they've always been and they intend to stay
I can't explain why we live this way
We do it everyday
Preachers on the podium speaking of saints
Prophets on the sidewalks begging for change
Old ladies laughing from the fire escape, cursing my name
I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same
A window and a pigeon with a broken wing
You can spend your whole life working for something
Just to have it taken away
People walk around pushing back their debts
Wearing pay checks like necklaces and bracelets
Talking 'bout nothing, not thinking about death
Every little heart beat, every little breath
People walk a tight rope on a razor's edge
Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons
It could be a bomb or a bullet or a pin
Or a thought or a word or a sentence
There ain't no reasons things are this way
It's how they've always been and they intend to stay
I don't know why I say the things I say,
But I say them anyway [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/brett_dennen/aint_no_reason.html ]
But love will come set me free
Love will come set me free
I do believe
Love will come set me free
I know it will
Love will come set me free
Yes
Prison walls still standing tall
Some things never change at all
Keep on building prisons,
Gonna fill them all
Keep on building bombs
Gonna drop them all
Working your fingers bare to the bone
Breaking your back, make you sell your soul
Like a lung is filled with coal,
Suffocating slow
The wind blows wild and I may move
But politicians lie and I am not fooled
You don't need no reason or a 3 piece suit
To argue the truth
The air on my skin and the world under my toes
Slavery stitched to the fabric of my clothes
Chaos and commotion wherever I go
Love, I try to follow
But love will come set me free
Love will come set me free
I do believe
Love will come set me free
I know it will
Love will come set me free
Yes
There ain't no reasons things are this way
It's how they've always been and they intend to stay
I can't explain why we live this way
We do it everyday
All the hatred and suffering in the world can be abolished if everyone loved each other

This song is obviously about a man who is very sad that he is ginger.

It seems to pay respect and acknowledgement to all the suffering today. How the world is and how we all go through the motions. And with that respect, this thing call love will answer the call for those in need, on its own time. Just keep hope and faith.

"i replace the word "love" with "god" and it means great words spoken out. Much more intensity and powerful that way. "
If you are a christian, then meaning for you is not changed at all

Moving song, that managed to stir something up inside of me in this world where we are so overwhelmed that we react with apathy to most situations. It awakons the empathy inside of me, and i think the meaning has to do with globalization and despite the fact that we are so interconnected, we turn a blind eye to the worldwide issues. I think he is saying that the only thing that can free us from this issue, is love.

My intrepretation of the meaning is that we as citizens continue to ignore the political, social, and economic issues. We continue to overindulge in lavish spendings, while some beg for change for the basic necessities. We ignore knowledge and acknowledge and possible glorify ignorance. Ultimately, all of these self made issues can be overthrown through love. If we banded together and instead of hating adversity or differences, we loved and embraced them, this world would be dramatically different!

There is absolutly no reason why there are bad things in this world, but we still do it for the heck of it.
