Lyrics
PURPOSE
Copyright 2018 Jeffery R. Verney
Graveyard bones are chasing me home
I wake up from a dream where I'm all alone
An island in the storm is keeping me so warm
As I try to make some sense of the day I was born
Stars are falling, I can't find my way
I hear you calling, to come out and play
You give me purpose
You give me purpose
You give me purpose
Purpose to breathe
Haunted ghosts they scare me the most
I close my eyes and hide I could use a host
To take me back in time, words that used to rhyme
Before all the roads ahead became harder to climb
Now I tumble, I'm falling apart
I hear a rumble, the sound of your heart
You give me purpose
You give me purpose
You give me purpose
Purpose to breathe
Winter's breath may bring me some rest
But while the fire still burns I will fail that test
And everything I do, I do because of you
As I step outside myself with a love that's so true
So much wonder, that fills up my soul
Gratitude thunders, as you make me whole
You give me purpose
You give me purpose
You give me purpose
Purpose to breathe
You give me purpose
You give me purpose
You give me purpose
Purpose to believe
