Purpose (Avenue Q)
Princeton:
Purpose
It's that little flame
That lights a fire
Under your ass
Ha!
Purpose
It keeps you going strong
Like a car with a full
Tank of gas
Everyone else has a purpose
So what's mine?
Oh look
Here's a penny
It's from the year I was born
It's a sign!
Ha! Ba ba ba ba doo doo doo doo doo
I don't know how I know
But I'm gonna find my purpose
I don't know where I'm gonna look
But I'm gonna find my purpose
Gotta find out
Don't wanna wait
Got to make sure that my life will be great
Gotta find my purpose
Before it's too late

Could be far
Could be near
Could take a week
A month
A year
At a job
Or smoking grass
Ha!
Maybe at a pottery class
Could it be?
Yes it could
Something's coming
Something good
I'm gonna find my purpose
Yeah

Princeton:

Gotta find my purpose
Gotta find me
