Discovering Life's Tapestry: Minnie Riperton's 'Reasons' Unveiled
Lyrics
The reasons for my life are in a million faces

Slipping through my fingers to dance upon the road
These meaningful elements slip away from my grasp, manifesting as opportunities and adventures on the journey of life.
The reasons for my life are more than I can hold
The reasons that give meaning to my life exceed my capacity to fully comprehend or embrace.

Expressing the joyous pleasure of singing wholeheartedly, igniting an internal sense of awe and brightness.
To spark the inner light of wonder, burning bright
