Purpose Over Rules lyrics

You feel that sparkRight under your skinIt's pulling you forwardIt's saying "begin"

Clock on the wallSame old routineChecking the boxesLiving betweenAll of the emailsAll of the noiseYou're ticking the checklistsBut losing your voice

What if it's bigger thanTasks on a screenWhat if the "why" of youFills up the scene

Purpose moves people more than instructionsSay what you stand forWatch hearts lean inGive me a reasonNot just directionsI'll run the distanceI'll jump right inPurpose moves people more than instructionsThat's how the fire startsDeep withinTell me the storyNot just the functionI'll make it happenAgain and again

"Do thisDo that"Words in a rowRobotic and rigidThey never glowBut paint me a pictureOf who we could beSuddenly ordersTurn into "we"

Lead with the meaningNot just the stepsLay out the visionI'll handle the rest

Purpose moves people more than instructionsSay what you stand forWatch hearts lean inGive me a reasonNot just directionsI'll run the distanceI'll jump right inPurpose moves people more than instructionsThat's how the fire startsDeep withinTell me the storyNot just the functionI'll make it happenAgain and again

Talk to my heartNot only my handsShow me the outcomeI'll fill in the plansTalk to my heartNot only my headGive me the messageI'll write what's unsaid

Purpose moves people more than instructionsSay what you stand forWatch hearts lean inGive me a reasonNot just directionsI'll run the distanceI'll jump right inPurpose moves people more than instructionsThat's how the fire startsDeep withinTell me the storyNot just the functionI'll make it happenAgain and again

Say less "must"Say more "why"Watch us riseWatch us flyPurpose moves peopleYou'll see it in their eyes
