Purpose
Justin Bieber Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feeling like I'm walking my last steps
Look at all of these tears I've wept
Look at all the promises that I've kept
I put my all into your hands
Here's my soul to keep
I let you in with all that I can
And you've blessed me with the best gift
That I've ever known
You give me purpose
Yeah, you've given me purpose
Thinkin' my journey's come to an end, oh
Sending out a farewell to my friends
For inner peace
Ask you to forgive me for my sins
Oh, would you please?
I'm more than grateful for the time we spent
My spirit's at ease
I put my heart into your hands
Learn the lessons you teach
No matter when, wherever I am
You're not hard to reach
And you've given me the best gift
That I've ever known
You give me purpose everyday
You give me purpose in every way
Oh, you are my everything
Oh, you are my everything
I don't know if this is wrong
Because someone else is telling me that it's wrong
But I feel this so let me just like, try my best not to let this happen again
We weren't necessarily put in the best position to make the best decisions
You can't be hard on yourself for, these were the cards that you were given
So you have to understand that these like
That's not who you are
You know you're trying to be the best you can be
But that's all you can do
If you don't give it all you got, you're only cheating yourself
Give it all you got
But if it ends up happening, it ends up happening
That's what it's, what's happening with me
It's like, God I'm givin' it all I got
Sometimes I'm weak and I'm gonna do it
And it's like I'm not givin' myself grace
I'm just like understanding, that's just how it is

He emphasizes that even if he is weak and makes mistakes, he must still give it all he has and understand that he is only cheating himself if he doesn't.
Overall, the song is a powerful reflection on the importance of purpose in life and the struggles that come with finding it. Bieber's vulnerability and honesty in the lyrics make it a deeply personal and relatable experience for listeners.

Accepting that things might not turn out as planned
That's what it's, what's happening with me
Experiencing this in my current situation
It's like, God I'm givin' it all I got
Feeling that I am putting in all my effort and strength
Sometimes I'm weak and I'm gonna do it
Sometimes I may falter or struggle, but I will keep going
And it's like I'm not givin' myself grace
Feeling like I am not showing myself enough compassion
I'm just like understanding, that's just how it is
Realizing that sometimes things are just the way they are and we must accept them for what they are

@diulikadikaday
Wow, this song got deep real quick!
I never cared much for Bieber, either as a person or his music. He just didn't resonate with me.
But this new Bieber is different. He is more mature. He is a lot more honest. He is legit.
Previously, I would have never said I was a Bieber fan. But now...
...I'm a belieber.
Peace.

We weren't necessarily put in the best position to make the best decisions.
You can't be hard on yourself
For these were the cards that you were given so you have to understand that these, like...
That's not who you are
You're trying to be the best you can be but that's all you can do
If you don't give it all you got, you're only cheating yourself
Give it all you got
But if it ends up happening, it ends up happening.
That's what it's....that's what's happening with me
It's like God I'm giving it all I got, sometimes
I'm weak and I'm gonna do it, and it's like I'm not giving myself grace
I'm just like understanding, that's just how it is.
@Selehazard
This song is brilliant . It’s simple.
Justin felt suicidal after years of suffering in silence, hence he says “ Sending farewell to my friends for inner peace “
As he decided to leave off on his journey
he talks about how god saved him from giving up on his life and for that he is grateful.
He has a purpose to live and that is to be grateful.
Short song but powerful and sweet love letter to God.
