lyrics

C Am F G

When you called about the x-ray, I got scared
and when you called about the surgery
how could I be prepared
for you not to be around anymore?

There's so much to do, working to pay rent
Get food on the table, days just getting spent
But when I rode that bus to you in the hospital
I felt a calm
Because there's nothing more important than riding that bus to you

Sometimes you can't find a purpose
but a purpose finds you and that feels right
Sometimes you can't find a purpose
but a purpose finds you and that feels right

Nazis calls my relatives to threaten me and shut my mouth
and this of course makes me scared
but I'm as privileged as I'm white
and my fear is nothing compared
to the families fleeing in boats on the mediterranean
right now and you're shooting at them right now

So I say thanks to the nazis that calls me
for reminding me why I hate
your worldview and your fears and your inhumanity
and your disrespect for debate

Sometimes you can't find a purpose
but a purpose finds you and that feels great
Sometimes you can't find a purpose
but a purpose finds you and that feels great
Sometimes you can't find a purpose
but a purpose finds you and that feels great
Sometimes you can't find a purpose
but a purpose finds you and that feels great
