Everything has a reason 
Everything has a start 
Anything that ever burned 
Had a spark 
Anything I ever wanted 
Anyone I ever needed 
Always seemed to leave me standing in the dark 

Suddenly I'm caught in your light 
Opened the door, and you stepped inside 
And I'm watching the hours 
Looking for reasons 
Find that I'm missing every beat of your heart 
'Til you're back in my arms, 
I'll be waiting up, counting the stars 
Counting the stars 

Nothing could ever touch us 
Nothing gonna shake my faith 
Nothing in this big, bad world will ever take you away 
Like a rolling hurricane 
Nothing's standing in our way 
Full of life, full of grace, in a perfect place 

Suddenly I'm caught in your light 
Opened the door, and you stepped inside 
And I'm watching the hours 
Looking for reasons 
Find that I'm missing every beat of your heart 
'Til you're back in my arms, 
I'll be waiting up, counting the stars 
Counting the stars 

Like a rolling hurricane 
Nothing's standing in our way 
Full of life, full of grace, in a perfect place 

Suddenly I'm caught in your light 
Opened the door, and you stepped inside 
And I'm watching the hours 
Looking for reasons 
Find that I'm missing every beat of your heart 
'Til you're back in my arms, 
I'll be waiting up, counting the stars 

Counting the stars 
Counting the stars 
I'll be waiting 'til you're back in my arms 
I'll be waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting up 
Counting the stars
