Lyrics

HIGHER PURPOSE

THERE'S A LIGHT AS BRIGHT AS THE SUN ON THE HORIZON
BUT IT'S NOT THE BEACON WE SEEK IT'S JUST A SMOKING GUN
SO WE TRY TO HARDEN OUR HEARTS TO FACE THE NIGHT
BUT WHERE THERE IS SMOKE THERE BURNS THE FIRE
OF EVERY HUMAN DESIRE

THERE IS A HIGHER PURPOSE
THERE MUST BE A HIGHER PURPOSE

IF THERE IS HOPE WE COULD MOVE TO FILL THE VOID
TOO MANY FACES TO FEED SO WE AVOID
THE CALLING OF OPEN ARMS
THE BLEEDING OF BROKEN HEARTS
WHEN TEARS FALL CAN YOU HEAR THE NOISE?
THE CALLING OF OPEN ARMS
THE BLEEDING OF BROKEN HEARTS
WHEN TEARS FALL WE HEAR THE NOISE

THERE IS A HIGHER PURPOSE
THERE MUST BE A HIGHER PURPOSE

I'VE FOUND A BRIDGE
A PATH ACROSS THE WATER
A WAY TO LIVE
AND I STAND AT THE BORDER

I'M ON THE INSIDE
I'M LOOKING OUTSIDE
TAKE ME TO PARADISE
TAKE ME HIGH

THERE IS A HIGHER PURPOSE
THERE MUST BE A HIGHER PURPOSE
THERE IS A HIGHER PURPOSE
THERE MUST BE A HIGHER PURPOSE

AND I BELIEVE THERE'S A HIGHER PURPOSE
I BELIEVE THERE'S A HIGHER PURPOSE FOR ME

FOR YOU FOR ME
I BELIEVE THERE IS A HIGHER PURPOSE
FOR YOU FOR ME
I BELIEVE THERE IS A HIGHER PURPOSE
FOR YOU FOR ME
I BELIEVE THERE IS A HIGHER PURPOSE
ETC.

Good vocals, nice tone to the voice. Song had a off beat deep meaning, which is something you do not always get. This makes it stand out .
