Atlas18 - Purpose Lyrics

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 f*cking 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!
Dancing with the devil, together I knew we'd revel
Avoided death twice, but it's never that simple

Higher power watching over me on those days
I'm not the one to kneel down and prey
I come to realise that I have to keep fighting
My new chapter in life, is what I've been writing

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

The quality of being determined to do or achieve something
Someone may of made you feel that you're less than nothing
The status of their words should have no importance
All that matters in your own performance

My aunty once told me that"Pain is growth"
Everybody feels it, everybody loathes
Stand up tall, hold your head up high
Even on those days, where you just ask why

Take pride in feeling empowerment
Retire those beliefs that you are less than adequate
This is your life, what are you fighting for?
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
