Stacie Orrico – (There's Gotta Be) More To Life

"(There's Gotta Be) More To Life" as written by and Kevin Paul/woodward Kadish....
Yeah yeah oh
I've got it all, but I feel so deprived
I go up, I come down and I'm emptier inside
Tell me what is this thing that I feel like I'm missing
And why can't I let go

There's gotta be more to life
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
'Cause the more that I'm
Tripping out thinking there must be more to life
Well it's life, but I'm sure, there's gotta be more
Than wanting more

I've got the time and I'm wasting it slowly
Here in this moment I'm half way out the door
Onto the next thing, I'm searching for something that's missing

There's gotta be more to life
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
'Cause the more that I'm
Tripping out thinking there must be more to life
Well it's life, but I'm sure, there's gotta be more
I'm wanting more

I'm always waiting on something other than this
Why am I feelin' like there's something I missed

There's gotta be more to life
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
'Cause the more that I'm
Tripping out thinking there must be more to life
Well it's life, but I'm sure

There's gotta be more to life
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
'Cause the more that I'm
Tripping out thinking there must be more to life
Well it's life, but I'm sure
There's gotta be more to life
More to life, more to life
There's gotta be more to life
More to life, more to life
There's gotta be more to life
More to life

    General CommentThis song means that obviously there's more to life then what the world gives us. We can have everything here on earth and yet feel like there's still something out there that we need. We find ourselves looking in all directions to find what's missing in our lives. To me and a lot of other people. That one thing is Jesus Christ. Just think about it. :-) Shon

    General CommentPardon my language but I'm in a real crappy mood right now. Don't ever say there's more than God! He's more than anything!

    General CommentI don't thinx it's about God and religeon either. But I don't belive in God, don't read bible or go to church so it would be weird if I thought like that. I agree with chibinezu, maybe there's more to life than God. I think it's about waisting your life. She could be singing about missing love or something like that.

    General CommentI love this song, its really upbeat and has a great meaning to it... if ppl stopped to really think about it, there HAS got to be more to life than this. Most people don't think that they will find all the answers in Jesus Christ, but He is the ONLY one who wants to give u all u've ever wanted. please, please don't ignore that, coz He's just the greatest thing EVER!!!

    General Commentin all the times i've listen to this song while i got the obvious statement that there is more to life.. i never once thought it had anything to do with god. there's more to life than god e_e
    I always got the impression that the song was about someone who was stuck in a rut in their life and thinking that there must be more out there than what they currently have but they can't seem to get at that and time just keeps to be passing as the person is thinking this.

    General CommentIt means that there's more to life than what everybody else does and has. You've gotta be yourself and trust God because there's more to life than the shit the world gives us and God is what that is. Mock me if you want but remember, I'm already a bitch and you talking about me will totally boost my ego and your ass will get kicked by someone like me!!!!

    General Commentthere's more to life then taking drugs & doing the same shit every single day. she's saying you don't have to get high in order to enjoy life, & even when she's high, she's thinking about how much more there is.
