Lay it out on the line Exhausted from life I let go and reflect on all of my thoughts To fulfill a void to fill a hole in my heart When I put the past behind me If I make a mark on life Yeah To see my child born sparked the momentum To be apart of something more led my direction I found a purpose Found meaning in passion That I've had This is why I'm alive To listen and give back In a short time I've had to fill many positions in life I've grown to deal with the stress and adapt Make a decision on What's more important And what means most The good and the bad every moment A lesson learned Obstacles placed to overcome The choices I make Yeah What will I face Finding a balance Becoming a man I found a purpose Found meaning in passion That I've had This is why I'm alive To listen and give back I've grown to communicate How I really feel We are all given a gift The gift of freedom To give back to me is what matters most To give back to me is what matters most My mind drifted And ventured to find value
