Where Did My Purpose Go

By Bruce Clifford

I don’t know
Where did my purpose go
Oh I don’t know
I don’t know

In a flash
I took a sidebar and made a dash
Oh I don’t know
I don’t know

What are these mornings for
Why is each day just like all the others
When did all this turn into one gigantic chore
What is there to do today
I need to get away
I don’t know

Where did my purpose go
If I had known
Maybe I’m hearing a different tone
Where did my purpose go

In a flash
I tried to reason but it was trash
Oh I don’t know
I don’t know
Where did my purpose go
