Lisa if you go to the newsgroup alt.music.lightfoot on Google and search the group for
mentions of If There's A Reason you will find a number of postings including a thread on the Endless Wire album in general at:-
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.music.lightfoot/browse_thread/thread/b1b22884ef75b031/f51f65d6a694a0cb?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=if+there%27s+a+re ason#f51f65d6a694a0cb
That was in the days when the newsgroup's creator Wayne Francis (of lightfoot.ca fame)still regularly posted and he confided:-
"Highlights of the album for me are If Children Had Wings, one of his most
intensely personal and heart-wrenching songs ever, and If There's A Reason,
which is a "very" inspired vocal as far as I'm concerned."
Another post in that same thread said
"One song that did grow on me, though, was If There's
a Reason. I didn't care for it for years, now it's one my absolute Endless Wire
favorites."
I echo your obervation it was not until Gord rerotated If Children Had Wings that I "discovered" that song
