Lyrics
Purpose
Stephanie Lightfoot
Written September 1997
I don’t know what you’ve been told
But living ain’t easy
You got to make your way the best you can
Day after day
Some people try to fake it through
then wonder why they fall
But I’m gon tell you the kind of livin
That could save, that could save us all.
First we give a little and stop taking all we can get
Think about what we’ve got to give
And don’t expect a profit!
Realize why we’re living
We all have a purpose
It’s when we don’t do what we’re put here to do
Can make it better for all of us
Weve got to…
Chorus
Live in our purpose
Do what we’ve got to do
Control our destiny
Be true to who we must be (repeat 1x)
Some people live for money
But their problems don’t go away
Some people give on Sunday
And take back all the rest of the days
But why? Can you tell me?
Do we have to live this way
We’ve got to live the kind of living
That can bring us to a better day.
Weve got to…
Chorus
Live in our purpose
Do what we’ve got to do
Control our destiny
Be true to who we must be (repeat 1x)
