Lyrics
Calendar’s full but my soul feels lost,
Winning their race, but at what cost.
Praised for work that leaves me numb,
Grinding hard till I come undone.
It hits like silence in a crowded room,
A busy path to a silent tomb.
What will they say when I reach the end?
Will my life be whole or an empty friend?
Do I still just chase what earns applause?
Have I ever paused to name my cause?
Will I flow fast with urgent breath?
Any wonder if it feels like death?
Write your story before it’s told.
Shape each day, let life unfold.
Write the ending you want to see.
Give to the world a real legacy.
Not just motion—make it whole.
Find a path that ignites your soul.
Do I serve a cause or an email’s slave?
Am I ruled by fear or will I be brave?
Will I ride passive though every year?
Or engage the controls and shift my gears?
What would I build if I felt free?
Proud of a life that’s true to me.
Write your story before it’s told.
Shape each day, let life unfold.
Write the ending you want to see.
Give to the world a real legacy.
Not just motion—make it whole.
Find a path that ignites your soul.
If your life were written, a book or scroll,
Would you be proud or distain your role?
What’s one thing you’d proudly begin?
What fake role will you toss in the bin?
What’s missing from that imagined draft?
What fades when time moves way too fast?
Your legacy waits in the mirror’s stare,
It lives in why, not just the where.
So speak it loud, then write it clear.
Design a life, overcoming fear.
If your child read your story in thirty years,
Would they find courage—or just your fears?
Which words do you wish they’d use when they speak?
Honest. Loyal. Strong. Unique?
Not to fear the end, but to see it clear—
Design your life while you’re still here.
Write your story before it’s told.
Shape each day, let life unfold.
Write the ending you want to see.
Give to the world a real legacy.
Not just motion—make it whole.
Find a path that ignites your soul.
This ain’t about death—it’s about design,
Pulling intention through every line.
The life you live becomes the tale,
So choose each step to tip the scale.
Make the change that’s been on delay.
Not for later. But now. Today.
Write your story before it’s told.
Shape each day, let life unfold.
Write the ending you want to see.
Give to the world a real legacy.
Not just motion—make it whole.
Find a path that ignites your soul.
Calendar’s full but my soul feels lost,
Winning their race, but at what cost.
Praised for work that leaves me numb,
Grinding hard till I come undone.
It hits like silence in a crowded room,
A busy path to a silent tomb.
What will they say when I reach the end?
Will my life be whole or an empty friend?
Do I still just chase what earns applause?
Have I ever paused to name my cause?
Will I flow fast with urgent breath?
Any wonder if it feels like death?
Write your story before it’s told.
Shape each day, let life unfold.
Write the ending you want to see.
Give to the world a real legacy.
Not just motion—make it whole.
Find a path that ignites your soul.
Do I serve a cause or an email’s slave?
Am I ruled by fear or will I be brave?
Will I ride passive though every year?
Or engage the controls and shift my gears?

Proud of a life that’s true to me.
Write your story before it’s told.
