Every morning when I rise I wipe the sleep out from my eyes Ask myself the question why oh why Was I born I go out wandering the ripped up streets Bodies on the sidewalk huddling for heat The whole world looking like some losing streak Why was I born? I get home and you're not there But your clothes are hanging and your scent's in the air If it aint an answer I don't care Why I was born I was born to love you I was born to love you I was born for love Last year I saw those pearly gates Tried to shove my way through; they said you gotta wait You've got to get some questions straight Like why you were born They said what do you think, that it was made for you Why should anyone care what it is you do? The course gets set you got to see it through That's why you were born I got up; I saw them all All God's creatures great and small It came in clear as a local call Why I was born I was born to love you I was born to love you I was born for love...
