Driven Songtext
von The Cross Movement

I was searching for answers to life′s questions you get me?
The search took me deep inside
But let me show you where it ended
Watch out
Birthdate
Da-da-dash, da-da-dash

Now, now what do I do with what I have found?

Questions

Life's quintessential quest

Send your five senses through a sensational test (count ′em)
To see if you can feel what's real
And once it's felt you′ll savor the taste (and smell)
Ya heard?
Your nerves begin tingling
Your heartbeats are reaching for life′s meaning
While arteries rush
A flood of blood through the life force
Giving you life force
This is a gift from life's source


Daily

With each second

Deep breaths and your feet stepping every direction

The search begins
As you work against the clock
The Earth again is shocked by another bad creation

I cried too

At birth
At first
But after that learned that I yearned for purpose
But the way my circuits were wired
Deep inside of me gave me fire and something that I could work with

Wanting one hundred percent of my personality
To urgently see reality

Ready to burst if
This energy I burned with was just a tease never to be released
This
Makes you wonder and wander over yonder
And ponder if you′ll ever find out


What drives you?
What makes you feel alive?
You thrive on the desires inside
You strive to arrive on time
Due to life's design why your mind′s tryin' to find
What drives you?
What makes you feel alive?
You thrive on the desires inside
You strive to arrive on time
Due to life′s design why your mind's tryin' to find

As you learn to walk

You march to the rhythm of your own heart′s drum
Becoming the best you, bar none

Far from the next man
Check your hand for fingerprints
This is just one of the many things that distinguishes you
Tuned to your own frequencies
With idiosyncrasies and secret keys to your kingdom (or castle)
The hassle and strife that life brings
Gets balanced out by good times or nice things

Like lightning
Tight strings of life start to loosen
Allowing the kite to fly high like with true friends
It′s stupendous
The rainbow of emotion
You feel everything from pain to love, hope and more
Opportunities, open doors
Open your mind to find what you're hoping for
Is it

Around the corner waiting to be seen?
Destiny or success to some degree seem like
This would satisfy that endless appetite
Inside for which you sacrificed it all
It calls you answer but it always sends you back for more
Cause you never give it what it′s asking for
You ever notice that?
It always sends you back for more
Cause you never give it what it's asking for?

What drives you?
What makes you feel alive?
You thrive on the desires inside
You strive to arrive on time
Due to life′s design why your mind's tryin′ to find

As sweet as life is, it's just as short
And it seems like time is up just as you're
Starting to get the hang of the language of love
And things can never remain the way that it was
We long for timelessness
Maybe if our accomplishments ever delivered what they promised
If life′s pleasures were everlasting
Then I′m admitting this might bring down some competition

But everything is short lived
Forget about fortune and forgive the sportsman
And the actor slash rapper entertainer
For making us think that money can sustain us

There are things in life that money can buy
But for everything else an empty shelf inside
Ask the rich man
Right or left?
With which hand do you carry your treasures to the life after death?
And if he has an answer
I'll man up and stand up in Times Square wearing a pink pamper
If a pink panther can follow clues and solve cases
Then I know that you can all trace this

Everything from family to employment
Is all given to us for our enjoyment
But our job (what?)
Is to find life and define life
Without going outside of our God
This drives you
Each day that you survive through
Life is designed to guide you to Him
From day one with each step you come
Closer to or further away from

What drives you?
What makes you feel alive?
You thrive on the desires inside
You strive to arrive on time
Due to life′s design why your mind's tryin′ to find
What drives you?
What makes you feel alive?
You thrive on the desires inside
You strive to arrive on time
Due to life's design why your mind′s tryin' to find
