Ohh, whoa-whoa, whoa

You got a purpose (purpose)
What is your reason? What is you fightin' for?
I see you searchin' (searchin')
Burnin' inside, it's somethin' you can't ignore

But you gotta fight, get up and keep moving forward
See, don't back away with your hand up
'Cause somebody need you stand up

See I've been tryin' my best, every time, I wait (to)
To find my meaning in everything (meaning in everything)
