Not What We Kept

Yeahhh…
Soulcial rise now…
We don’t measure life by what we keep…
But by the love we leave behind…
Verse 1 – upbeat, storytelling flow
Sun come up, got purpose in my stride
Not chasin’ gold, got somethin’ deep inside
Every breath, yeah it’s borrowed time
So I’m sowin’ love in every line
Not about the name or the fame we gain
It’s the hearts we touch that remain
Every meal served, every hand we hold
That’s the real kind of wealth untold
Walk through life with an open hand
Liftin’ up my neighbor, that’s the plan
If I leave this world a little more kind
Then I know I lived how love designed
Pre-Chorus – lift, warm harmonies
What we build ain’t made of stone
It’s the seeds of love we’ve sown
Every quiet act, every unseen way
Echoes long after we fade away
Chorus – catchy, toe-tapping, horn hits
🎶 Legacy of love, yeah that’s the goal
Kindness in my walk, fire in my soul
One life, one chance, I’m givin’ it all
Liftin’ up the least when they feel small
Legacy of love, let it overflow
In every little thing, let His mercy show
When my time done and my story told
Let ‘em say I loved… let ‘em say I loved
Verse 2 – rhythmic, hopeful bounce
It’s the smile you give when nobody sees
It’s the quiet “yes” to a heart in need
It’s the plate of food, it’s the extra mile
It’s dignity restored in a single smile
We don’t wait for perfect days
We bring the light in a thousand ways
From the block to the streets to the broken place
Love show up — that’s amazing grace
And I ain’t worried ‘bout what I leave
If what I planted helps someone breathe
Then my life been rich in ways untold
That’s a legacy worth more than gold
Pre-Chorus – rise again
Not the riches, not the praise
It’s the love that outlives all our days
What we give comes back around
In every life where hope is found
Chorus – fuller, joyful, layered vocals
🎶 Legacy of love, yeah that’s the goal
Kindness in my walk, fire in my soul
One life, one chance, I’m givin’ it all
Liftin’ up the least when they feel small
Legacy of love, let it overflow
In every little thing, let His mercy show
When my time done and my story told
Let ‘em say I loved… let ‘em say I loved
Bridge – chant, building energy
Love one more… that’s the way
Kindness grow day by day
Feed one heart… change a life
Turn a struggle into light
(Repeat, harmonies rising)
One by one… watch it grow
That’s the legacy we sow
No regret, no divide
Just love livin’ far and wide
Breakdown – half-time, reflective
If all I leave is a trail of grace
And a little more hope in every place
If somebody stands ‘cause I stood near
Then I know my life was worth bein’ here
Final Chorus – triumphant, horns soaring
🎶 Legacy of love, yeah that’s the goal
Kindness in my walk, fire in my soul
One life, one chance, I’m givin’ it all
Liftin’ up the least when they feel small
Legacy of love, let it overflow
In every little thing, let His mercy show
When my time done and my story told
Let ‘em say I loved… let ‘em say I loved
Outro – soft, fading groove
Yeahhh…
Not what we kept…
