What is the meaning of life?
Is it to love and be loved
Would that be all there is?
To have a house and a nice car
Three little hellions roaming around
A beautiful wife with beautiful hair
And eyes that sparkle throughout the night
You pump weights and are a vegetarian
She fixes herself up to make you
And everyone notice her
To say how beautiful she looks
And your kids are well behaved
Good years lies ahead

Is that all there is?

I feel purpose have to be involved
If that's one's purpose then have at it
I've experienced all the wrong things
And yet I pray it will help others out
What am I praying to?
Is there a God that hears me
A personal creator who will help me
Through my own experience I have to say yes
He wants me to choose his will
And love him as he loves me
But through my excursions through life
I really don't know what love is
I feel it's putting others first instead of myself
But I tend to be extremely selfish
Can I escape the trap
The one that has me wrapped up in myself?
Can I put my energies to do God's will
And not my own?
All these questions are good to ask
But what am I doing about that?
