Lyrics

Friday, came home

Waved to a neighbor I don’t know

He smiled at me and I believed he was doing just fine

His eyes can’t lie

Something tearing him up on the inside

I wonder what it is

I should ask him

 

But I’ve got my own life

Will I pass by

Or am I gonna take the time

 

This is what we’re here for

To show the world how You love it

This is what we’re made for

To lay it all down like You did

When we feel useless, You still use us

Help us not forget

This is what we’re here for

 

We’re here to slow down, reach out

Take a better look around

Just a little bit of time can change a life

So I won’t walk by and leave it up to the next guy

I wanna be what I believe all of the time

 

I’ve got my own life

But it’s not mine, no

 

To give

To love

To be the ones to show that You have overcome the dark

The night

The pain we fight

That You are alive

 

What we’re here for

What we’re made for

This is what we’re here for
