WE'RE NOT HERE TO SUFFER

WE'RE NOT HERE TO SUFFER

Verse 1:

I used to believe that life was a test

And suffering was just a part of the quest

The more we endured, the closer we'd be 

To the divine, to the deity 

Chorus:

But I've let go of this belief 

That life is just about the grief 

We're here to learn and to grow 

Even from the hardships we know 

Verse 2:

I saw that some who suffered so much 

Lost their way, losing faith, losing touch 

It made me question what I was taught 

Was there more to life? More to be sought?

Chorus:

But I've let go of this belief 

That life is just about the grief 

We're here to learn and to grow 

Even from the hardships we know 

Bridge:

Life is a journey, it's not a test 

We're meant to experience, to do our best 

To learn from the falls and the strife 

To become better versions of our life 

Chorus:

We're not here to suffer, that's not what it's about

Life's a journey, we're here to learn and grow, no doubt

So let go of the belief that pain brings us closer to God

Learn from every experience and keep moving forward, don't stop

I used to think that life was a test

And that the more we suffered, the more we'd be blessed

But then I saw it wasn't true

Some lost faith and hope, no matter what they went through

So I changed my perspective and my views

I realized that life could be so much more, wholesome and true

We don't have to suffer to be enlightened or divine

Each experience we have can teach us, shape us, refine

Chorus:

We're not here to suffer, that's not what it's about

Life's a journey, we're here to learn and grow, no doubt

So let go of the belief that pain brings us closer toGod

Life's not a test, it's a journey we're on

Learn and grow from what comes along

Once I thought the more I suffered 

The closer I'd be to divinity 

But I saw that pain doesn't guarantee 

That faith and hope would stay with me 

So let go of that notion 

That anguish will lead to grace 

It's through experiences we learn 

And bloom into who we embrace 

Life's full of ups and downs 

But that's how we grow, no doubt 

Embrace the journey that we're on 

And learn to let pain go without

We're meant to love, live and learn 

With each experience, we'll take our turn 

Of becoming better versions of ourselves 

And embrace the joy that life compels 

So let go of the belief 

That pain brings us closer to God 

Learn and grow from your experiences 

And you'll end up casting a beautiful spell.
