Create with heart

Not every song

Will see a light of day

Some stay scribbled

In a notebook, tucked away

Not every plan

You draw will take a shape

Blueprints crumpled

On the floor beside your faith

But you create with heart

Even when it falls apart

When trying hard

Pays you nothing but the scars

Being broke ain’t always choice

Still you show up, still you start

You don’t know who needs your voice

So you create

You create with heart

Friends get houses

You’re still sharing rent

Counting coins

Just to cover what you spent

You send resumes

Like paper airplanes

Watch them vanish

In a sky that never rains

Still you create with heart

Even when it falls apart

When trying hard

Pays you nothing but the scars

Being broke ain’t always choice

Still you show up, still you start

You don’t know who needs your voice

So you create

You create with heart

Maybe it’s one kid

On a back row bus

Hearing your words

And feeling “hey, that’s us”

Maybe it’s just you

Learning how to stay

When every easy answer

Wants to walk away

So you create with heart

Even when it falls apart

When trying hard

Pays you nothing but the scars

Being broke ain’t always choice

Still you show up, still you start

You don’t know who needs your voice

So you create

You create with heart

(yeah, you create with heart)
