Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love this song. I can't believe no-one's commented on this. Well the song is self- explanatory. It means that you can't enjoy life without knowing why you're here.

These guys are christian rock so I think this song means that when your lost God will help you find the way.

When I first heard this song, I was so disappointed that I wanted to delete it from my playlist, but after listening to it a few times, it became my fave Flyleaf song. Even though it has short lyrics, they are powerful. They are telling us that God has put us all here for a reason and that we should live our lives to the fullest. We all need to figure out why God put us here, so that we can fully live our lives . God will lead the way to a productive life.

I think it's actually pretty good! I know it repeats itself a bit but it's very powerful. Life lives.

Life is about living.

"You can not fully live without Knowing what you're here for right now." = No matter how old you are, you will find your purpose in life.

"You're not here by accident Life lives." = You have a reason for being alive. Life goes on.

"If you don't know the way and you're lost This truth will bridge the gap and carry you across." = If you're lost the Truth of God will help you figure it out and the direction you're supposed to go.

"You are here, You are here Don't you know? You are here You are here, He gives you life!" = You're here, you're alive, you're breathing, don't you realize that? Just by living is already great enough, and HE gives you the right, you are alive, be thankful!
