“More to Life” by Stacie Orrico (Click here to listen)
Yeah yeah oh
I’ve got it all, but I feel so deprived
I go up, I come down
and I’m emptier inside
Tell me what is this thing
that I feel like I’m missing
And why can’t I let go
There’s gotta be more to life
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
Cause the more that I’m
Tripping out thinking
there must be more to life
Well it’s life, but I’m sure,
there’s gotta be more
Than wanting more
I’ve got the time
and I’m wasting it slowly
Here in this moment
I’m half way out the door
Onto the next thing, I’m searching for something that’s missing
There’s gotta be more to life
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
‘Cause the more that I’m
Tripping out thinking there must be more to life
Well it’s life, but I’m sure, there’s gotta be more
I’m wanting more
I’m always waiting on something other than this
Why am I feelin’ like there’s something I missed
There’s gotta be more to life
Than chasing down
every temporary high to satisfy me
‘Cause the more that I’m
tripping out thinking
there must be more to life
Well it’s life, but I’m sure
There’s gotta be more to life
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
‘Cause the more that I’m
Tripping out thinking there must be more to life
Well it’s life, but I’m sure
There’s gotta be more to life
More to life, more to life
There’s gotta be more to life
More to life, more to life
There’s gotta be more to life
More to life

“Ever Since the World Began”
The experience of baptism, which set Jesus on his 3-year vocation to proclaim the Kingdom of God, posed questions for him about the meaning and purpose of his life. It drove him into the wilderness in order to try to find answers. Whilst his extended stay in the wilderness certainly focussed his life, I don’t think he ever found certainty. For all of us, the meaning of life is an unfolding, life-long process that demands continual questioning. Survivor explores this questing attitude in the words of their song, describing this aspect of the human condition that has existed “ever since the world began,” and it will always be so.
