[Chorus]
Meaningless, meaningless, meaningless
Ain't a word that I've heard that's as real as this
Live is absurd, it's ridiculous
Oh just to live, what a gift it is
[Verse 1]
How many times I've woke up feeling stressed and in a mess
Full of regrets, burdened mind, and heavy chest
How many times I've felt I ain't got nothing left
Than compared to the rest, that I'm less
How many times I've waited trying to be patient
Expecting I would get it cause I'm hoping and I'm praying
Then I'm faced with that displacement, lost in that frustration
They say that hope the [?] makes you sicker than a patient
How many times I've blamed God and raised my fist
Shouting to the sky, "why've you plagued my life with this?"
Angry cause my life doesn't look like all the pics
Blinded to what I have in light of what I've missed
So let me take it back for a second
And silence all the questions and restore a little reverence
Cause every single breath is a little taste of Heaven
And no one owes you nothing so every step is a blessing
(Blessing)
[Chorus]
Meaningless, meaningless, meaningless
Ain't a word that I've heard that's as real as this
Live is absurd, it's ridiculous
Oh just to live, what a gift it is
Meaningless, meaningless, meaningless
Ain't a word that I've heard that's as real as this
Live is absurd, it's ridiculous
Oh (yeah) just to live, what a gift it is
[Verse 2]
Have you ever watched the breaking light of dawn
Like an artist take their brush in to the colours of the morning?
Have you ever heard the cry of a baby when it's born
Like an orchestra of life getting ready to perform?
Have you ever seen the mountains kiss the sky
Or the trees stretch their arms like they're worshipping on high?
Have you ever seen a mother catch the tears of a child
Or a stranger help another when they cry?
Have you ever sat in silence for a while
And heard yourself breathe with no need for you to strive?
Have you stared into a mirror and looked deep into your eyes
Bearing witness to the miracle that's on the other side?
Have you ever felt compassion and a love you can't describe
Like a thunder that's inside? Oh the wonder of our life
Yeah, it's hard and it's dark and there's scars and we die
But thank God that we got to be alive!
[Chorus]
Meaningless, meaningless, meaningless
Ain't a word that I've heard that's as real as this
Live is absurd, it's ridiculous
Oh just to live, what a gift it is
Meaningless, meaningless, meaningless
Ain't a word that I've heard that's as real as this
Live is absurd, it's ridiculous
Oh just to live, what a gift it is
[Outro]
Oh just to live, what a gift it is
Oh just to live, what a gift it is
