[Verse 1]
Got a little scar from every time I tried
Every closed door
Every heavy night
Learned to turn the hurt into a guiding light
Learned to stay when I wanted to run
Mama said
“Baby
What you gonna give?”
You got one heart
You got one life to live
Don’t just pass through
Make somebody miss
The way you showed up for them
[Chorus]
I’m gonna shine where I stand
Leave love in my wake like lines in the sand
If I’ve only got these two hands
I’ll give all I can
All I can
When the curtain falls and the crowd is gone
Hope they feel me living in the little things I’ve done
Not about fame
Not about plans
It’s the lives that I touch
That’s the mark that I want
(yeah, that’s the mark that I want)
[Verse 2]
I don’t need a stage just to speak my truth
I can lift a soul with a simple “you”
Look you in the eyes when you’re walking through
Sit in the dark with you ‘til dawn
I wanna be the call when your hope runs out
Be the quiet strength in your sea of doubt
If I change one day in your tangled route
Then a piece of me lives on
[Chorus]
I’m gonna shine where I stand
Leave love in my wake like lines in the sand
If I’ve only got these two hands
I’ll give all I can
All I can
When the curtain falls and the crowd is gone
Hope they feel me living in the little things I’ve done
Not about fame
Not about plans
It’s the lives that I touch
That’s the mark that I want
(oh, that’s the mark that I want)
[Bridge]
What if the miracle’s
Hidden in the usual days?
What if the history
Starts in these ordinary ways?
Every “are you okay?”
Every “I’ll stay”
Writing my name
In somebody’s faith
[Chorus]
I’m gonna shine where I stand
Leave love in my wake like lines in the sand
If I’ve only got these two hands
I’ll give all I can
All I can
When my story’s told and they say I’m gone
Let my love keep talking in the hearts I lived on
Not about stars
Not about charts
It’s the lives that I touch
That’s the mark that I want
(yeah, that’s the mark that I want)
That’s the mark that I want
