Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I used to hide from the light, I would cower
Too ashamed to be me, so afraid of my power
‘Til one day, mama said I got something to offer (Offer the world)
Just look in the mirror to see it
Now it’s up to you to believe it

[Chorus]
You got a purpose (Purpose)
What is your reason? What is you fightin’ for? (Hey)
Yeah, I see you searchin’ (Searchin’)
It’s burnin’ inside, it’s somethin’ you can’t ignore
Yeah, everyone’s hurtin’
But you gotta fight, get up, and keep movin’ forward
See, don’t back away with your hand up
‘Cause somebody need you stand up

[Post-Chorus]
See, I’ve been tryin’ my best every time, I’ll wait (To)
To find my meaning in everything
I don’t waste this season ’cause time don’t wait
Countin’ on me (Countin’ on me)
And I’m countin’ on you, yeah (Countin’ on you)

[Verse 2]
So now when I show up (Show up)
I know I’m goin’ up for everybody to see
And I stand for the babies, the fellas, the ladies
And everybody in need
For the lost and forgotten, we (The way)
Even though it ain’t easy, we
So now when we show up, we know that we holdin’ up
Something that’s bigger than you and me

[Chorus]
You got a purpose (Purpose)
What is your reason? What is you fightin’ for? (What is you fightin’ for?)
Yeah, I see you searchin’ (I see you searchin’)
It’s burnin’ inside, it’s somethin’ you can’t ignore (Yeah)
Yeah, everyone’s hurtin’
But you gotta fight, get up, and keep movin’ forward
So, don’t back away with your hand up (Somebody)
Somebody need you stand up

[Post-Chorus]
See, I’ve been tryin’ my best every time, I’ll wait (Every time)
To find my meaning in everything (Meaning in everything)
I don’t waste this season ’cause time don’t wait
Countin’ on me (Countin’ on me)
Countin’ on you (Countin’ on you)
Everybody here has something here to do
Ignite your fire, it makes you move
It’s something so special that gets us through
You countin’ on me (Countin’ on me)
Countin’ on you (Countin’ on you)

[Outro]
Take up your space
Baby, shake up the place
You can break all the rules
Someone’s countin’ on you
Do believe in yourself (Believe in yourself)
‘Cause ain’t nobody else (Nobody else)
Who can do what you do
Someone’s countin’ on you (Someone’s countin’ on you)
Yeah, yeah
