I Ain’t Done Yet
Verse 1
I learned young how to work with tired hands,
Make something out of nothing when nothing was the plan.
Got my daddy’s stubborn heartbeat, a mouth that speaks its mind,
If the whole damn world needs carrying,
Put it on my back one more time.
I’ve served the tables, built the dreams,
Swept the floors when no one sees,
Held everybody else together
While coming apart at the seams.
Pre-Chorus
They call me strong like it’s a compliment,
Like I ever had a choice.
There’s a woman underneath this armor
Still praying someone hears her voice.
Chorus
I ain’t made of steel, I just learned how to bleed
Without letting the whole damn world see me on my knees.
I love too hard, work too long, give more than I’ve got left,
Walk straight through the fire
With faith inside my chest.
I’ve lost some dreams, I’ve lost some people,
Asked God, “What comes next?”
Then I hear Him whisper, “Keep walking, girl.”
I wipe my eyes and catch my breath—
I ain’t done yet.
Verse 2
I’ve mistaken almost-love for forever,
Gave my heart to hands that couldn’t hold it together.
I can handle lonely, I’ve damn near mastered that,
But sometimes even a strong woman
Wants somebody strong enough to have her back.
I don’t need anybody saving me,
God already taught me how.
I just want someone who sees all of me
And still chooses to stick around.
Chorus
I ain’t made of steel, I just learned how to bleed
Without letting the whole damn world see me on my knees.
I love too hard, work too long, give more than I’ve got left,
Walk straight through the fire
With faith inside my chest.
I’ve lost some dreams, I’ve lost some people,
Asked God, “What comes next?”
Then I hear Him whisper, “Keep walking, girl.”
I wipe my eyes and catch my breath—
I ain’t done yet.
Bridge
There’s a little girl still living in me
Who thought love meant you never leave.
There’s a grown woman standing here now
Learning love shouldn’t have to bleed.
Daddy, if you ever wonder
If all those years were worth the fight,
Look around at what we’re building—
Your dream is standing here tonight.
When my own strength finally fails me,
And I’ve got nothing left to give,
I know the One who walked me through it
Ain’t brought me this far just to quit.
Final Chorus
I AIN’T MADE OF STEEL—
I’m something stronger underneath.
I’ve been broken, I’ve been buried,
And still got back up on my feet.
I’ll love too hard, I’ll dream too big,
I’ll give more than I’ve got left.
I’ll raise some hell, I’ll praise my God,
With this wild heart in my chest.
Let them talk. Let them leave.
Let them wonder what comes next.
I’ve got scars that tell my story
And a God who ain’t finished yet.
[Music drops out]
I’m still here.
I ain’t done yet.
[Full band + gospel choir]
I AIN’T DONE YET.
NO, I AIN’T DONE YET.
YOU CAN COUNT ME OUT—
BUT GOD AIN’T DONE WITH ME YET.
