lyrics

As we look inside, we see ourselves falling apart
We panic, we don't know where to start
We're falling, we're crashing
We're grasping, and we're saying
Whoa

We're sayin'

Lookin' inside for life's very meaning
Some lame excuse for our own very being
Give me a reason to live
I need, we need
I said, we said
Whoa

We're sayin'
Give us purpose, give us a reason
Give us fire, give us a meaning

We're sayin'

A hungry soul leaves you hollow and stale
Aspiration's deflated, motivation's derailed
Drugs, sex, and alcohol won't suffice
When you've become your greatest vice
Oh no

We see what we need
Reach out, a hungry soul will feed
We see it, won't fake
So damn close, I nearly taste it
We see it, we breathe it
We touch, and then we say
Whoa

Give us purpose, give us a reason
Give us fire, give us a meaning

Give us a reason
Won't you give me a reason?
I'll take these chains
I break these chains
We'll break these chains
I'll smash these chains
I see it, I feel it
We see it, we see it all
We see it, we see it
We see, we see
We see it, we see
We see, we see
Then we say...
Whoa

Give us purpose, give us a reason
Give us fire, give us a meaning
