I know what I'm here for
JAMES (live) Lyrics

What a life
Life is a unique experience

A trick of light
Life is often influenced by perceptions that can deceive us

Then everything returns to the sea
Life is finite and eventually ends, returning to the earth

You can have whatever you want
We have the power to create anything that we desire

But are you disciplined enough to be free
Freedom requires discipline and self-control

Turning love into a chore
Sometimes love can become mundane and routine

Promises come cheap dear reader
People often make promises that they cannot keep

Another page, another door
Life is full of new opportunities and choices

Follow, follow me
Join me on this journey

I know what I'm here for
I have a clear purpose in life

Hanging on through late December
Enduring the challenges of life until the very end

Moving on
Continuing to progress and grow

Don't belong
Feeling out of place and disconnected

My life turned into a mall
My life has become commercialized and materialistic

Every line is in the song
Every moment in life can be a part of something greater

What an actor, what a show
Life can often feel like a theatrical performance

Going through some holy motions
Going through the motions without necessarily feeling genuine or authentic

The bands are sharp but the singers slow
Sometimes the pieces are there, but something is still missing

Everything must go
Nothing lasts forever and everything will eventually come to an end

Souvenirs, polygraph tests
Memories and tests that can reveal hidden truths

Photographs fresh from the wreck
Images from difficult or painful times

What a poster saint he'll make
The potential to be seen as a symbol or icon for others

In one take, one take
Doing something with confidence and ease
