Behind the Song: Purpose
Updated: Sep 14, 2021
I wrote this song when I was feeling lost in life, and craving purpose. It began as a poem years ago, and as I build my skills in singing and writing, I decided to turn it into a song. I have plenty more material to one day evolve.
I chose to release this song as my first single, as I felt its meaning was particularly relevant to the time in which we live. A lot of people have been affected by COVID-19, have lost their jobs, and are looking for meaning in this new world in which we live.
This song also is meant to inspire change, people going for their dreams & living in alignment with what they believe in. I hope it will inspire people to protect the planet and to question the roles they play in our society. I hope people will start to consider whether the company they work for contributes something positive to the world, or whether it is all about profit. I hope this song will unite people, and resonate with that part of all of us that knows that we have a large untapped potential lying beneath our fears and self doubts. I hope this song brings people to life.
Here are the lyrics:
Purpose
It’s been a wild ride
How the hell am I still alive
Now and then I look around
And wonder where the world is bound
Sometimes I don’t feel myself
Empty like that bottle on the shelf
I wonder what what the world would need
Is it the authentic me
Chorus
Purpose, I struggle to find
A passion to free me from my mind
Something lasting, something meaningful, a path that’s aligned
With my heart and soul, human kind
Verse 2
I’m trying, but it’s not easy
To lead like I am meant to be
See past diversions and set myself free
From all the beliefs others taught me
Chorus
Bridge
I don’t wanna settle
I’m done with self doubt
Maybe I’m naive and young
But I refuse to look back and wish there’s more I’d done
Chorus
Outro
Come on and bring me to life
Come on and bring me to life
Come on and bring me to life
Ooohhh
Come on and bring me to life
