Meant to Live
Switchfoot Lyrics

Fumbling his confidence
Struggling to find confidence in himself

And wondering why the world has passed him by
Feeling left behind and confused about why things aren't going his way

Hoping that he's bent for more than arguments,
Wishing that he has a greater purpose than just arguing with others

And failed attempts to fly, fly
Feeling like he has failed to achieve his dreams

We were meant to live for so much more
As human beings, we were created to have a greater purpose

Have we lost ourselves?
Do we still have a clear sense of our identity and purpose?

Somewhere we live inside
Deep down, we know there is more to life than what we see on the surface

Dreaming about Providence
Hoping that a higher power or destiny is guiding his life

And whether mice or men have second tries
Wondering if everyone gets a chance to start over and do better

Maybe we've been livin' with our eyes half open
Perhaps we haven't been fully awake to the opportunities and possibilities around us

Maybe we're bent and broken, broken
Maybe we are damaged and struggling to function properly

We want more than this world's got to offer
As humans, we have a desire for something beyond what we currently have

We want more than the wars of our fathers
We want to break free from the patterns of violence and conflict that have defined past generations

And everything inside screams for second life
Our inner selves are crying out for a chance to start anew

We were meant to live
We were created to experience life to the fullest
