Verse 1
When the morning breaks and the light pours in
I get another chance, I can begin again
Leave the weight behind, leave the fear at the door
Step into the day like never before
I don't need a crown, I don't need a name
I don't need the world to remember my fame
If they remember anything when I leave this place
Let it be the kindness, let it be the grace
Pre-Chorus
So when the pressure rises
And the noise gets loud
When the road gets lonely
And I'm lost in the crowd
I'll choose the better way
The higher road I see
Let love lead the journey
And let mercy carry me
Chorus (Drop)
Let grace define me!
Let kindness be my legacy!
When the world is pulling me apart
Let compassion be the beat of my heart!
Let grace define me!
Let kindness be the air I breathe!
When the lights go down and the story's told
Let love be louder than silver and gold!
Post-Drop
Whoa-oh-oh-oh!
Let grace define me!
Whoa-oh-oh-oh!
Let kindness be my legacy!
Verse 2
Every stranger I meet, every hand I hold
Every chance to encourage, every burden I help unfold
The smallest act can change a life
A healing word can cut through the night
So I'll keep showing up, keep giving what I can
Building bridges of hope wherever I stand
Because the strongest hearts are the ones that see
The power of lifting somebody else to their feet
Pre-Chorus
When the headlines scream
And division fills the air
I'll be a light in the darkness
A reason someone knows they're cared for
Chorus (Drop)
Let grace define me!
Let kindness be my legacy!
When the world is pulling me apart
Let compassion be the beat of my heart!
Let grace define me!
Let kindness be the air I breathe!
When the lights go down and the story's told
Let love be louder than silver and gold!
Bridge (Build-Up)
Not by power...
Not by pride...
Not by what I gain along the ride...
But by the lives I touch...
The hope I leave behind...
The courage to be gentle...
The strength to be kind...
(Bring it up!)
Final Drop
Let grace define me!
Let kindness be my legacy!
Every heartbeat, every dream
Be a reflection of something greater than me!
Let grace define me!
Let kindness be my melody!
And when my final song is through
May the love I've given echo endlessly!
Outro
Grace... define me...
Kindness... define me...
Love... refine me...
Let it be my legacy.
