Purpose (Unplugged)

from Bareness Vol. 2 (Unplugged) by Icicle

/

lyrics

When I was young I never thought about my purpose
The only thing that moved me was swells from hurricanes
But now I'm so much older, I can say I found my purpose
It's the ink within the pen as it flows upon the page

I’m meant to use the words that come to me in spurs
To help the one in need and share my remedy
The age of information spurns evaluation
We ought to shed our pride and vanquish vanity

What's the purpose to the mountains?
Purpose to the moonlight?
Purpose to the sunset?
Purpose to the sea?

What's the purpose to us spinning
Inside a galaxy?
And just the purpose of me asking
Is good enough for me

If you don't have a purpose you’ll always wonder why
We're all upon this planet at exactly the same time
Some people on this earth heave a heavy sigh
Cause they can't find a purpose for the reason or the rhyme

Perhaps a higher power called on you to change the world
Perhaps you're on this world for a purpose you can't see
Regardless of the reason, despite of what you feel
Once you find your purpose the truth will be revealed

What's the purpose to the mountains?
Purpose to the moonlight?
Purpose to the sunset?
Purpose to the sea?

What's the purpose to us spinning
Inside a galaxy?
And just the purpose of me asking
Is good enough for me

Does your life have a cause when you wake up in the morn?
Is there a smile upon your face as you make it through the day?
Everybody ought to nurture a passion they can claim
Cause a man without a claim is doomed to go insane

This song is for the hopeless, the ones who fell from grace
This song is but a challenge for you to look inside
I know you were created to make this world a better place
To concur the horizon and expand your mind

What's the purpose to the mountains?
Purpose to the moonlight?
Purpose to the sunset?
Purpose to the sea?

What's the purpose to us spinning
Inside a galaxy?
And just the purpose of me asking
Is good enough for me

What's the purpose to the mountains?
Purpose to the moonlight?
Purpose to the sunset?
Purpose to the sea?

What's the purpose to us spinning
Inside a galaxy?
And just the purpose of me asking
Is good enough for me
