A child waits in the wings
It's clear in her mind today
Wish it all away
She deserves to be at peace
The walls are closing in
She only has a moment
To go and chase it again
Like never before

We all must have a purpose
A life that we must own
Instead of fight for nothing
And only exist until we fall

I've taken all my chances
And tossed them in the dirt
I'm leaving my life of solitude behind me, yeah
Cause I still see the light
A doorway that is mine
Take the steps to guide me
I've just fallen, fallen behind

We all must have a purpose
A life that we must own
Instead of fight for nothing
And only exist until we fall
With hand grenades to help us
Lift us when we aren't strong
Instead we live for something
We exist to break our fall, fall, fall

I'm going to get you away
From all this monstrosity
I'd sacrifice anything
Just to be by your side again

We all must have a purpose
A life that we must own
Instead of fight for nothing
And only exist until we fall
With hand grenades to help us
Lift us when we aren't strong
Instead we live for something
We exist to break our fall, fall, fall

    My Interpretation

    I think it's about not just simply existing but living with purpose. To just go through the motions of life & never carving out a solid path is not really living at all.
