Purpose Filled Life
Earning Purpose: Bear Hands' Anthem for a Fulfilling Life
Lyrics
Not gonna let my mother down
Commitment not to disappoint or fail one's mother.
Not gonne let my brother down
Commitment not to disappoint or fail one's brother.
I'm gonna earn my place at the table
Desire to prove oneself and earn a respected position or recognition.
Not gonne let my sister down
Commitment not to disappoint or fail one's sister.
Not gonna let my father down
Commitment not to disappoint or fail one's father.
I'm gonna make my peace where I'm able
Striving to find peace and contentment in one's circumstances.
Ooo don't let me be no kind of burden
Fear of being a burden on others; a plea to not burden anyone.
Just let me work and I will earn it
Willingness to work hard and earn one's way instead of depending on others.
I want my life to have a purpose
Desire for a meaningful and significant life.
Tell me if you think I deserve it
Seeking validation or assessment of worthiness from others.
Not til I get to solid ground
Not feeling settled or secure until reaching stability or certainty.
Not til I get a bottom out
Not feeling settled until hitting the lowest point or dealing with struggles.
Will I see myself in the mirror
Aiming for self-reflection and self-awareness through challenges.
Not til my body is broken down
Not feeling settled until physically worn down or exhausted.
Not til my soul is in the clouds
Not feeling settled until spiritually elevated or in a state of tranquility.
Will I finally be somewhere peaceful
Seeking a peaceful and content state after enduring hardship.
Don't let me be some kind of burden
Repeated fear of being a burden and the willingness to work for self-sufficiency.
Just let me work and I will earn it
Reiterated willingness to work hard for self-worth and value.
I want my life to have a purpose
Reiteration of the desire for a meaningful and purposeful existence.
Tell me if you think I deserve it
Repeating the request for validation or evaluation from others.
Don't let me be some kind of burden
Repeated fear of being a burden and the willingness to work for self-sufficiency.
Just let me work and I will earn it
Reiterated willingness to work hard for self-worth and value.
I want my life to have a purpose
Reiteration of the desire for a meaningful and purposeful existence.
Tell me if you think I deserve it
Repeating the request for validation or evaluation from others.
