MY WORK AIN’T DONE
Verse 1
Everybody thinks the story ends
When you finally walk away
When you stop crying
Stop explaining
Stop begging someone to stay
But that’s not where my story ends
That’s where it begins
Because healing isn’t the finish line
It’s the first step in
I spent years surviving
Now I get to live
I spent years pouring
Now I get to receive
I spent years building everybody else
Now I get to build me
Pre-Chorus
I didn’t come this far
Just to stop right here
I didn’t fight these battles
Just to disappear
Chorus
My work ain’t done
It’s just beginning
My season ain’t over
I’m just stepping in it
I got dreams to build
Places to see
People to help
And a better version of me
My work ain’t done
I’m finally winning
The chapter closed
But the book ain’t finished
This ain’t the end
This is the start
My work ain’t done
I’m just beginning
Verse 2
I got houses to buy
Families to help
Generations to change
And wisdom to tell
I got grandbabies watching
I got seeds to plant
I got prayers unanswered
And mountains that I can
Still climb
Still conquer
Still become
The woman I was born to be
Not the woman they needed
Not the woman they used
Not the woman they blamed
Not the woman they misunderstood
The woman God created
Before the world told her who she should be
Pre-Chorus
I got too much life
Left inside of me
To stay trapped
In yesterday’s memories
Chorus
My work ain’t done
It’s just beginning
My season ain’t over
I’m just stepping in it
I got dreams to build
Places to see
People to help
And a better version of me
My work ain’t done
I’m finally winning
The chapter closed
But the book ain’t finished
This ain’t the end
This is the start
My work ain’t done
I’m just beginning
Bridge
I don’t regret the roads
I don’t regret the pain
Every loss taught me something
Every storm brought rain
Every tear watered seeds
I couldn’t see back then
Now they’re growing into blessings
Again and again
The bridge I built behind me
Got me where I am today
But I’m not standing on the bridge
I’m walking away
Toward purpose
Toward peace
Toward joy
Toward me
Final Chorus
My work ain’t done
It’s just beginning
I survived the breaking
Now I’m living
I got love to give
But not at my expense
I got wisdom earned
And common sense
My work ain’t done
I’m still becoming
Still healing
Still growing
Still overcoming
And when they ask me
How I made it through
I’ll smile and say
I finally chose me too
My work ain’t done
It’s just beginning
And for the first time
I’m excited about the ending.
