Lyrics:

Hold up
Before your hopes and dreams are sold up
You haven't failed yet don't fold up
Don't cut the tape before it's rolled up
You've always got a chance

Rock it
And if the picture isn't clear just shop it
You're swinging by the chain of Prospit
The future's always there so pop it
Back into its place

You've got a reason to live
Got a reason to live
No matter what you say
No matter what you take away
There's always something you can give
And buddy that's the reason
That you've got a reason to live
Got a reason to live
Don't care what you've been through
Don't care what people think of you
There's always something you can do
And no one knows it better than you

Praise you
The absence in your life delays you
The note that desolation plays you
You know you mustn't let it phase you
If something's in the way

Own up
There's data structures you can bone up
You might be feeling like you're Homestuck
But you can make it by your own luck
Snap it into place

And if the wind should blow
I will know
I will go

Reversal, all matter and its great dispersal
The secrets of the universal
This isn't just a dry rehearsal
We're living for today

You've got a reason to live
Got a reason to live
No matter what you say
No matter what you take away
There's always something you can give
And buddy that's the reason
That you've got a reason to live
Got a reason to live
Don't care what you've been through
Don't care what people think of you
There's always something you can do
And no one knows it better than-

You've got a reason to live
Got a reason to live
No matter what you say
No matter what you take away
There's always something you can give
And buddy that's the reason
That you've got a reason to live got a reason to live
Don't care what you've been through
Don't care what people think of you
There's always something you can do
And no one knows it better than you
And no one knows it better than you
And no one knows it better than you

Artist commentary:

8/11/2017 Michael Guy Bowman: (Bowmantown Discord, excerpt)

the outpouring of people who told me that song got them through a rough patch was incredible. it definitely makes me think twice about what the effect of my work on an audience will be, esp. compared to the stuff i was working on when i was way younger
