My Whole Purpose
If I knew my whole purpose in this life
I wouldn't be here trying to get it right
So I'll leave nothing behind
And live life out of sight
Attributing to the fact
That my future looks bright
Look, son,
Now tell me what you see
And it will appear
When you are ready
"Young grasshopper" I read the old news
From way back in the day
The foundation I use
Life is just a choice with a means to an end
It seems to me this is important
But can you tell me when
Everything will go the way it should
If you know that answer
You've done more than I could
So what now
Do we do for the confused?
Tell them it's simple
It's the tools that you use
To get ahead in life and stay out of the gutter
Now I know life can seem hopeless like you can't relate to another
Individual, at least that's the way it would seem
But life isn't hopeless
You've just got to choose the right team
People matter more than you know
Think about that for a minute and your answer will be given so
If I knew my whole purpose in this life
I wouldn't be here trying to get it right
So I'll leave nothing behind
And live life out of sight
Attributing to the fact
That my future looks bright
Now this is for me
If that is what you see
I'm looking for something
Is that consistency?
Keeping myself steady and breaking no rules
Laws are made for men and law breaking is for fools
So son, I fly right and give it all to God
In Him I can never go wrong
So I keep my faith in God
Now that leads me to my ultimate struggle
My nature seems good
But it gets me in trouble
So I know nothing
But what I need to know
At the proper time even God will say so
That I will or would
If I knew how
To search for my blessing and my blessing is now
The fact that I'm alive and calm in my nature
That's the peace I need surrounded by nature
Now I may be blind
But my faith is strong
I see nothing but riches
And that keeps me strong
If I knew my whole purpose in this life
I wouldn't be here trying to get it right
So I'll leave nothing behind
And live life out of sight
Attributing to the fact
That my future looks bright
