Some of us are living
in an earthly heaven
Lord, some of us are living in hell
Yeah, we're livin' in hell,
right here
Some of us don't care
about the time of day
We don't care if the world we're
livin' in drifts away
Some of us was born famous
Some of us was born plain
Some was put here for a purpose,
Lord, some not for a darn thing
But I was put here to love you,
to help you as the others do
And you were put here to give more,
more than the share coming to you
An d when I stumble to my feet,
let your face be the last I see
Cause that's my purpose,
that's my purpose
That's my purpose, purpose,
oh, that's my purpose
Oh, until I was the way we live
Was meant to be for you and me
It's meant to be for you and me
And when I stumble to my feet
Oh, let your face be
the last I see
Mm -hmm
Some of us was born to trouble
With burdens of one another
Oh, some of us die from grief
Never,
never knowin' real harmony
Some of us live our whole life
tryin' to be nice
Tryin' to treat the other fellow man,
tryin' to treat him right
Some of us was born healthy,
some of us was born fine
Some of us was put here to pay a debt
For something we did or never liked to
But my purpose was to love you,
forget that I was due
And you were put here to give more
than what was given you
But when I stumble to my feet,
let your face be the last I see
That's my purpose,
talking about my purpose
That's my purpose, oh, it's my purpose
But maybe someday you will see
That it was written for you and me
That it was written for we, for we and we
Oh, and when I stumble to my feet
Let your face be the last
I see
That's my purpose, that's I'm telling you,
it's my purpose
That's my purpose,
that's my purpose
And I'm gonna work it out
Say I'm gonna sit it out,
I'm gonna wait it out
Cause it's my purpose
When the day I stumble to my feet
I want your face to be the last I see
It's my purpose,
it's my purpose
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, that's my first one.
