Everything is Temporary

Verse 1

I lost myself chasing numbers, trying to prove that I was worth it.

Thought the finish line was money, but the gold felt cold and empty.

Had nights I almost broke down, staring at the ceiling restless.

But every tear became a mirror, showing me what really matters.

Pre-Chorus

I’m learning that the storm is just a chapter, not the ending.

The pain is just a teacher, not a life sentence.

Chorus

Everything is temporary, even when it feels forever.

These scars are only proof that I survived the weather.

I’m not my bank account, I’m not my broken plans.

I’m the light that keeps on rising, even shaking as I stand.

Material things are just a side effect of my soul in alignment.

My real wealth is in my heart, in the love that I keep shining.

Verse 2

I’ve been down to almost nothing, wondering if I should just quit.

Watching people that I counted on disappear when things got heavy.

But silence made me listen to the voice inside my chest.

It said, “You were never meant to measure your value by what’s missing.”

Pre-Chorus

Now I wear my failures like a badge of evolution.

Every fall rewired me for a higher resolution.

Chorus

Everything is temporary, even when it feels forever.

These scars are only proof that I survived the weather.

I’m not my bank account, I’m not my broken plans.

I’m the light that keeps on rising, even shaking as I stand.

Material things are just a side effect of my soul in alignment.

My real wealth is in my heart, in the love that I keep shining.

Bridge

One day you’ll look back at this and smile through the tears.

You’ll see that all the closed doors were opening you from within.

Believe in yourself when nobody else can see the vision.

Your future is already waiting on the other side of this decision.

Final Chorus (lift)

Everything is temporary, let that thought become your shelter.

Your story isn’t over, this is just the storm before the treasure.

You’re not your empty pockets, you’re the dream that never dies.

You’re the fire in the darkness, you’re the sun behind the skies.

Material things will come and go, they’re not your destination.

You are here to love, to grow, to be a walking inspiration.

Outro

So when the world feels heavy and your hope is paper thin,

Remember: every ending is where better things begin.
