Verse One: Birth date. Da-da dash, da-da dash Now, now, what do I do with what I have found? Questions. Life's quintessential quest sends Your five senses through a sensational tests (count 'em) To see if you can feel what's real, and once it's felt You'll savor the taste and the smell (you heard?) Your nerves begin tingling, your heart beats Are reaching for life's meaning while arteries rush A flood of blood through the right course Giving you life force, this is a gift from life's source, Daily, with each second deep breaths and Your feet step in every direction
The search begins, as you work against the clock, The Earth again is shocked by another bad creation I cried too, at birth, at first, but after that Learned that I yearned for purpose, The way my circuits were wired, deep in side of me gave me fire And something that I can work with Wanting 100 percent of my personality to urgently seize reality Ready to burst if this energy I burned with, Was just a tease never to be released This makes you wonder and wander over yonder And ponder if you'll ever find out
Hook: What drives you, what makes you feel alive You thrive on the desires inside you Strive to arrive on time due to life's design While your minds trying to find
Repeat Hook
Verse Two: As you learn to walk, You march to the rhythm of your own heart's drum Becoming the best you, bar none Far from the next man, check your hands for fingerprints This is just one of the many things that distinguishes you, Tuned to your own frequencies with Idiosyncrasies and secret keys to your kingdom Or castle, the hassle and strife that life brings Gets balanced out by good times or nice things
The frightening tight strings of life start to loosen Allowing your kite to fly high like with true friends It's stupendous, the rainbow of emotion you feel Everything from pain to love, hope and more Opportunities, open doors, open your mind To find what you're hoping for Is it around the corner? Waiting to be seen Destiny or success to some degree seems Like this would satisfy that endless appetite inside For which you sacrifice it all It calls you answer but it always sends you back for more 'cause you never give it what it's asking for
(You ever notice that it always sends you Back for more 'cause never give it what it's asking for?)
Repeat Hook
Verse Three: As sweet as life is, it's just as short And it seems like time is up just as your Starting to get the hang of the language of love And things can never remain the way that it was We long for timelessness maybe if our accomplishments Ever delivered what they promised if Life's pleasures were everlasting then I'm admittin' This might bring God some competition
But everything is short-lived; Forget about fortune forgive the sportsmen and The actor, slash rapper, entertainer For making us think that money can sustain us They're things in life that money can buy For everything else and empty shelf inside Ask the rich man, "Right or left?" With which hand do you carry your treasures to the life after death?
And if he has an answer, I'll man up and Stand up in Time Square wearing a pink pamper If a pink panther can follow clues and solve cases Then I know that you can all trace this Everything from family to employment Is all given to us for our enjoyment But our job is to find life and define life Without going outside of our God This drives you, each day that you survive through Life is designed to guide you to Him from day one With each step you come closer to or further away from
