Story Behind The Song
I went to a very cerebrally driven Bible School. I really felt that we were missing the boat when it came to knowing why we were alive. It seemed like many of us thought they were going to go to heaven based on Bible knowledge. When It came tight down to it, the more Bible knowledge I acquired, the more I realized it wasall about LOVE!

Lyrics
The nine to five job enables providers to provide
The struggle to make ends meat helps keep us occupied
The study of subjects and books is a means to find some meaning.
The professional vocation is a step towards the aesthetic feeling
Chorus:
To love and to be loved
What other reason
Is there to suffer
Another season
Of life?
Not hurting or hating enables the pious to brag of piety.
Religion within the walls helps keep us occupied.
The study of right and wrong is a means to find some meaning
The theologian steps away from the fanatical feeling
The love of the Lord enables the righteous to be righteous
Prayer within the walls helps keep us purified
The study of motives to actions is a means to finding Go
The professional servant steps towards looking through Jesus eyes.
Chorus
