[Verse 1] I thought having direction Meant knowing every turn Knowing where I'd end up Before I even learned Now I've changed my mind enough To know that's not the point I don't need every answer I just need to know whose choice [Pre-Chorus] I can change I can move I can want something new But whatever comes next I want it chosen Not just something I fell into [Chorus] On purpose That's how I want to live If I stay If I leave I want to know why I did On purpose Not perfect Not certain Just awake enough to know This is my life And I'm the one choosing where it goes On purpose [Verse 2] I can listen to you I can take good advice I can love where I came from Without living somebody else's life I can turn around I can start again I can change the plan at twenty Thirty, forty, anytime I need to then [Pre-Chorus] I don't need One straight road To prove I know where I'm going Maybe knowing who decides Is more important Than knowing [Chorus] On purpose That's how I want to live If I stay If I leave I want to know why I did On purpose Not perfect Not certain Just awake enough to know This is my life And I'm the one choosing where it goes On purpose [Bridge — musical callbacks build underneath] No map Still moved Either way Still chose My call My voice Wrong turn New road Second draft New page My own way And all of it All of it Brought me here [Music strips down] I still don't know everything [Two-beat silence] But I know who decides [FINAL CHORUS — full production] On purpose That's how I'm gonna live Every yes Every no Every piece of myself I give On purpose Still learning Still turning But awake enough to know This is my life And I'm the one choosing where it goes On purpose [Counter-Melody Over Final Chorus] No map needed No perfect road I can change And still know Every step Every turn Every lesson Every word On purpose [Outro] Whatever comes next On purpose
