<description>A song that hopefully makes you rethink purpose...

What Will I Be Giving Back?

Verse 1
I believed I had to fix it all
Stand Strong and hold the weight
To do something big with all I had
To make the world a better place
Even when I said it was for good
The focus was always on me
Now I’m wondering if I ever asked—
Who Am I really meant to be

Chorus
He gave me light, gave me breath
Not just for work, but soul and depth
Not to bury, not to waste
But to grow with love and grace
And when I’ve run my final track—
What will I be giving back?

Verse 2
I’ve been proud, boisterous and loud
I’ve been wrong, and let it slide
I’ve chased for things that failed to fill
And often put others on the side

I said the right things, played the part
While hiding pieces of my heart
Now I’m asking with clearer eyes—
Did I let my soul come alive?

Chorus
He gave me light, gave me breath
Not just for work, but soul and depth
Not to bury, not to waste
But to grow with love and grace
And when I’ve run my final track—
What will I be giving back?

Verse 3
I’ve wrestled with meaning, questioned the plan
Tried to make sense with the mind of man
Maybe it’s not answers we’re here to find
Maybe it’s soul we’re meant to refine
Now I feel it deep in my chest
This life ia a forge, not merely a test
And when it’s time to leave this place
I’m to offer a soul shaped by grace

Final Chorus
He gave me light, gave me breath
Not just for skills, but soul and depth
Not to build a name for show
But to let my soul ignite and grow
And when I stand at the edge at last—
Maybe that’s what I’ll be giving back

Outro
I’ll give back a soul lived full and true,
Rooted in light, and refined by truth.
Not just survived, but that learned to grow—
Ready to shine where eternity flows.

<description>Not Who I Am... Anymore
Written by David W Litwin, 2025

Verse 1
Weekends burned with a dive bar glow,
Same old faces, same old show.
We took what we wanted, burned what we lost,
Never looked back or counted the cost.
We’d stay wild, forever free,
At least that’s what I used to believe.

Chorus 
But that’s not who I am anymore,
I don’t chase the highs like I did before.
I need something real and pure,
Something with meaning, something sure
I’m not running, just moving on,
‘Cause staying here would feel so wrong.

Verse 2 
Same bar, same old scene,
Faces trapped in the same routine.
I tried to tell you there’s more to see,
But you laughed and said, “If Ain’t broke, why leave.”
But I can’t stay and play pretend,
When I know this road will never end.

Chorus 
That’s not who I am anymore,
I don’t chase the highs like I did before.
I need something real and pure,
Something with meaning, something sure
I’m not running, just moving on,
Cause staying here would feel so wrong.

Bridge 
If you ever awake
see past the highs,
I’ll be waiting under open sky.
I hope one day you’ll understand,
But for now, my heart must let go of your hand.

Final Chorus 
Cause that’s not who I am anymore,
I’m not scared of what’s in store.
I need something real, something pure,
Something with meaning, something sure
I’m not running, just moving on,
The weight is gone, my hope is strong.

Verse 1
He’s at the bar every Friday night,
Looking for miss right now
not miss right.

Flashing plastic smiles like a movie star,
Ready with the car keys if he gets that far

Chorus 1
You think you’ve got the perfect game,
But baby, you’re playing yourself in vain.
Your lines don’t land,
you'll never get me
You may be a tall glass of water,
But I ain’t that thirsty.

Verse 2
His hollow charm thinks does the trick,
But honey, I’ve seen through that act real quick.

He says, “What’s a girl like you doin’ alone?”
I laugh and tell him, "Pretty Boy, Keep walkin’ home.”

Chorus 2
You think you’ve got the perfect game,
But baby, you’re playing yourself in vain.
Your lines don’t land,
you'll never get me
You may be a tall glass of water,
But I ain’t that thirsty.

Bridge
Listen up, boys, take this to heart,
A woman’s strength is the truest art.
We’re not here for your games and lines
A woman's soul is meant to shine

Outro
So take your shine and walk on out,
There’s better ways to win a heart, no doubt.
Your lines don’t land,
you'll never get me
You may be a tall glass of water,
But we ain’t that thirsty.</description>

<description>TO CARRY YOU
David W Litwin, December 2024

Verse 1
I’ve walked through fire, charged through rain,
Carried burdens, known the pain.
Every scar, made me whole,
Now I’m steady, ready to hold.

Chorus
I’m built to carry you,
Through the flood, we'll make it through.
When the road breaks, I’ll hold the line,
When light fades, I’ll help you shine.
Every stone I’ve laid, every trial made through,
Built me up to carry you.

Verse 2
Step by step, we’ll climb that hill,
Through every trial, I’ll be here still.
When the world feels too heavy to fight,
Lean on me, my weight is light.

Chorus
I’m built to carry you,
Through the flood, we'll both stay true.
When the road breaks, I’ll hold the line,
When the light fades, I’ll help you shine.
Every stone I’ve laid, every trial brought through,
Built me up to carry you.

Bridge
The scars and cracks just let love through,
I’m strong enough to carry you.

Chorus
I’m built to carry you,
Through the flood, through the blue.
When the road breaks, I’ll hold the line,
When the light fades, I’ll help you shine.
Every stone I’ve laid, every trial walked through,
Built me up to carry you.

Outro
When you can’t stand, when the storms blow through,
Know I’m built to carry you.</description>

<description>He Called Me "Ma'am"
2024, David W Litwin

Verse 1
Sweats on, ponytail, grabbing some bread,
The day’s worth of trouble still stuck in my head.
Juggling milk and some bagels plain,
Feeling unseen in the express lane

Then the frat-brat at the counter
Without much of a glance, said
“Have a nice day,
ma’am,”
and changed all my plans

Verse 2
I bought heels so high, I could barely stand,
A dress so tight, it should’ve been banned.
Painted my lips in firetruck red,
Turned that parking lot into my red carpet spread.

Chorus
Eyes so fierce, pinned up hair
I owned the aisles, they knew I was there.
Every head turned, I owned the whole damn land,
All because
he called me “ma’am.”

Verse 3
Back at the counter, he couldn’t believe,
That this dolled-up lady was really me.
He stuttered, stammered, asked me out cold,
I just smiled and said, “Honey, I’m too old.”
You’re not man enough yet, to handle all this.
So so long little boy, and blew him a kiss.

Chorus
I don’t need the dress, don’t need the shoes,
But it’s fun to remind the world I still choose.
 Confidence is key, I now understand,
It started the day
he called me “ma’am.”

Bridge
Here’s to the queens in their everyday best,
Who slay the world in mommy jeans and a mess.
Remember, you’re fire, be all that you can,
But it’s fun to glow... when they call you “ma’am.”

Chorus
You don’t need the dress, don’t need the shoes,
But it’s fun to remind the world you still choose.
Confidence is key, we now understand,
We own our power,
if they call us “ma’am.”
