The world is watching us from a distance
Wanting more from their own existence
Tell me how do we make a difference
For eternity does anybody want to know why we're alive

Oh oh oh oh
What's the purpose of this life?
Oh oh oh oh

Before I die and I leave the world behind
I want to know why I'm alive

You're created for the creator to live inside
There's a hole in your soul and I know that you try
To fill it with every little thing but the very one who can heal it
And bring hope to a world that wants to know why they're alive

Spirit cry for this generation (generation)
We're chasing the wind trying to embrace it
Open our eyes to all the lies that we try to justify when deep down inside
All we want to find is someone that loves us all of the time and it's you

Yea it's you oh oh
Only you
Yes it's you oh oh oh
You're beautiful came down from heaven just to save my save my soul
Beautiful oh oh oh oh oh
You're so beautiful
The people of this world are praising you and they are
Beautiful oh oh oh oh
You're so beautiful came down from heaven just save my save my soul
Beautiful oh oh oh oh oh
Now I'm beautiful

    I love how he goes from verse to chorus. Good song. Obviously about God and spirituality. This guy has alot of faith. I am not an extremely religious person, I wonder why this guy has so much faith....experience....family teachings....overzelous church? Not saying he is wrong....just wondering.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
