Verse 1
Sunrise on another day, breath in, let the light come through
Got scars on my hands, dust on my shoes, from walking roads I never knew
They told me chase the crown, stack it high, guard your name
But I found more truth in broken places, giving love away
Pre-Chorus
I’ve been rich and I’ve been empty
I’ve been lost and I’ve been found
Turns out the only thing that lasts
Is the love you put back on the ground
Chorus
A life well lived
Is a heart that gives
Every blessing poured out, no strings attached
A life well lived
Is a soul that knows
You don’t lose a thing when you give it back
If I leave this world with open hands
And a trail of light where my feet once stood
That’s a life well lived
Yeah, that’s a life well lived
Verse 2
Met a man on the corner with a story in his eyes
Said he lost everything but hope, still thanked me for the time
I learned you never know the weight that someone else is carrying
So I choose compassion over judgment, every chance I get
Pre-Chorus
I’ve chased shadows, I’ve chased silver
I’ve chased things that fade with time
But love’s the only currency
That multiplies when you spend it right
Chorus
A life well lived
Is a heart that gives
Every blessing poured out, no strings attached
A life well lived
Is a soul that knows
You don’t lose a thing when you give it back
If I leave this world with open hands
And a trail of light where my feet once stood
That’s a life well lived
Yeah, that’s a life well lived
Bridge (drop it down, reggae sway)
We rise when we lift another
We heal when we choose to see
Every table’s got room for one more
There’s enough love for you and me
No walls, no lines, no borders
Just neighbors side by side
If I’ve got breath in these lungs
Then I’ve got a reason to try
Instrumental Break (horns / guitar skank / summer groove)
Final Chorus
A life well lived
Is a heart that gives
Hands wide open, never holding back
A life well lived
Is a soul that knows
The more you love, the more you have
When the sun goes down on my last stand
Let it be said I chose the good
That’s a life well lived
Yeah, that’s a life well lived
Outro
So I’ll bless every step I take
Serve love till my final breath
If I’m remembered for anything
Let it be how I loved…
Yeah… how I loved
