    Fumbling his confidence
    And wondering why the world has passed him by
    Hoping that he's bent for more than arguments,
    And failed attempts to fly, fly
    We were meant to live for so much more
    Have we lost ourselves?
    Somewhere we live inside
    Somewhere we live inside
    We were meant to live for so much more
    Have we lost ourselves?
    Somewhere we live inside
    Dreaming about Providence
    And whether mice or men have second tries
    Maybe we've been livin' with our eyes half open
    Maybe we're bent and broken, broken
    We were meant to live for so much more
    Have we lost ourselves?
    Somewhere we live inside
    Somewhere we live inside
    We were meant to live for so much more

    This song resonates with me more today than it was a decade ago. It also resonates with today's society where second chances aren't possible. When that happens, we lose the ability to forgive and in turn, we lose ourselves and our individuality. We were meant to live for so much more, never forget that friends and never let anyone or anything take anything away from you. God bless
