What's This Life For?

just step back 
take some time to think
searching for the missing link
didnt know before 
and now I do
cant change the world 
just make it through
cant change the world
the life I knew
the one in store
wheres it heading
Im not sure
I have searched 
long and hard 
a journey that
has left me scarred
broken beaten
bruised and battered
just to see
what should of mattered
what I know 
what Ive found 
just cant let life 
drag you down
just cant ever
lose the fight
chase the dreams
escape the night
dont wish you may
dont wish you might
just see yourself 
taking flight
only we
have what we need
only we
can set us free
