Song lyrics
Fumbling his confidence 
And wondering why the world has passed him by 
Hoping that he’s bent for more than arguments 
And failed attempts to fly, fly 

We were meant to live for so much more 
Have we lost ourselves? 
Somewhere we live inside 
Somewhere we live inside 
We were meant to live for so much more 
Have we lost ourselves? 
Somewhere we live inside 

Dreaming about Providence
And whether nicer men have second tries 
Maybe we’ve been livin with our eyes half open 
Maybe we’re bent and broken, broken 

We were meant to live for so much more 
Have we lost ourselves? 
Somewhere we live inside 
Somewhere we live inside 
We were meant to live for so much more 
Have we lost ourselves? 
Somewhere we live inside 

We want more than this world’s got to offer 
We want more than this world’s got to offer 
We want more than the wars of our fathers 
And everything inside screams for second life yeah

We were meant to live for so much more 
Have we lost ourselves? 
We were meant to live for so much more 
Have we lost ourselves? 
We were meant to live for so much more 
Have we lost ourselves? 
We were meant to live 
We were meant to live

Brilliant song. I'm really glad that Christian bands are getting out there to spread the Good News around. The lyrics were meaningful, rhythmic flow was balanced... Job well done.

What this song says to me is that we aren't here just to sit back as Christians and watch non- christians mess up their lives. We were meant to live for sao much more! We have to get up and let people know we are christians, and turn them away from the path they are on. Near the end of the song, it says "we were more than this world's got to offer." God put us to the ultimate Survival of the Fitest, and 1.3 out of7 billion people, only 19 percent of the world are christians, and how many of the 1.3 billion are going to heaven? Only 19%, we have to make an attempt to have 100% go to heaven. We were meant to live to minister the gospel, the good news, the word, or whatever other title you give the bible. We were meant to live for so much more, have we lost ourselves. If you don't know why you're here as a christian than you've lost yourself, but we ahve to make an attempt to minister. Ministry doesn't mean foreign countries, you can minister right in your neighborhood, but one last thing, do you have ADHD for Christ???

A very deep meaningful song. I love how it has it's slow quiet parts and it's louder faster chorus. A rare song that sounds good whether you play it quiet or loud. I personally prefer loud .

its this whole "christian band" thing that puts unbelievers off. can we not put switchfoot in a box? jesus didn't die for a few tunes, so its not "christian" music, its just the guys who are saved.. their music is universal & everyone can relate to it. lets stop crying "they're christian" as if they belong to our political party or something. no. let the music touch everyone where they're at.

"As a musician I guess the only thing I would ask from a listener is to put the CD in, close your eyes and forget about all the peripherals," says Jon Foreman. "I guess that's a dream that may not happen in my lifetime, but I listen to music from all sorts of people and I think there is an open-minded individual who will be able to listen to music of all types."
