You got a purpose, you know you do You got a purpose, you know you do You got a purpose, you know you do You got a purpose, you know you do You got a purpose, you know you do You got a purpose, you know you do You got a purpose, you know you do I looked in the mirror, and I began to plea Wasn't till I hit rock bottom, I started to see Everyday I'd hunt for my meaning The inside of me was screaming I was so ashamed, frightened and scared I was living my life so visually impaired I found myself hiding from the light Turns out I had to be, my own fucking knight I'm holding on to something that's bigger than me and you Something so powerful, I needed to push through I couldn't stare and watch the seasons pass by I knew I had to kiss the old me goodbye Yes, everyone is hurtin, now you have to put the work in Supportin' unrewardin' keeping on moving forward'n I stand for the babies, the he's, she's and they's Time to pull away the veil, for those to obey Don't back away with your hands up Somebody may need you to stand up! You got a purpose, you know you do You got a purpose, you know you do You got a purpose, you know you do You got a purpose, you know you do You got a purpose, you know you do You got a purpose, you know you do You got a purpose, you know you do Therapy is about evolving the mind body and soul Trying to get my mind out of the pits of coal I've been slugging through the trenches, rain or shine Getting comfy with the swine, trying to forget my own bloodline The sweet kiss of alcohol lingers on my lips Dictating how I write the next line of my script Rope around my neck, about to write my last cheque One final goodbye, as I hold my breath Second time around, I wanted an out My number one goal was to check the f*ck out!

You are strong enough, you can be more I was given a hard deck, but look at me now Don't allow others to force you to bow Your life is a journey that can't be missed Enjoy this white knuckle ride, clench your fist You got a purpose, you know you do You got a purpose, you know you do You got a purpose, you know you do You got a purpose, you know you do You got a purpose, you know you do You got a purpose, you know you do You got a purpose, you know you do
