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.
