Intro Yeah… Somewhere along the way We learned how to survive But forgot why we matter Forgot who we were made to be ⸻ Chorus You are more than the weight you carry, More than the scars you hide, More than the names they gave you When they couldn’t see inside. Breathe it in, you were chosen, Stamped before your first breath started, Made in the image of God Himself— Don’t forget who you are, don’t forget who you are. ⸻ Verse 1 He’s fifteen, hoodie up, head down low, World tells him “man up,” but won’t let him grow, Teachers see trouble, streets see a number, Pressure in his chest but he swallows the thunder. They say, “Be tough,” but don’t teach him how, So he hides every tear with a fake-ass smile. Scrolling through lives that look bigger than his, Thinking strength means never saying you’re hurt like this. But he don’t know yet—his voice got weight, His thoughts could shift futures, his hands could create, He’s not a mistake or a stat or a threat, He’s a seed with a purpose the world ain’t seen yet. Every great fire started as something ignored, Every king was once just a kid unsure— If he could see what heaven sees in him, He’d stand a little taller just remembering. ⸻ Chorus You are more than the weight you carry, More than the scars you hide, More than the names they gave you When they couldn’t see inside. Breathe it in, you were chosen, Stamped before your first breath started, Made in the image of God Himself— Don’t forget who you are, don’t forget who you are. ⸻ Verse 2 She’s sixteen, mirror tells her lies, Filters got her comparing her soul to a size, Every post says “perfect” but it’s staged and lit, Now she thinks love gotta look like this. She’s smart as hell but doubts her mind, Learnt to shrink herself just to be liked, Heart full of questions she don’t say out loud, Scared if she’s real she’ll get lost in the crowd. But she carries oceans behind those eyes, Generations of strength she don’t recognize, Her voice could heal, her words could build, There’s fire in her spirit the world can’t kill. She ain’t defined by a screen or a trend, Or approval that breaks the moment it’s sent, If she knew she was handcrafted, intentional, whole, She’d stop asking permission to be her soul. ⸻ Chorus You are more than the weight you carry, More than the scars you hide, More than the names they gave you When they couldn’t see inside. Breathe it in, you were chosen, Stamped before your first breath started, Made in the image of God Himself— Don’t forget who you are, don’t forget who you are. ⸻ Verse 3 Now it’s bills, alarms, same drive to work, Dreams on pause sayin’ “maybe it’ll hurt,” Life didn’t turn how they pictured at ten, So they call it “realistic” instead of “I’m scared.” They measure their worth by a title or check, By what they’ve accomplished, by what they’ve neglected, Holding regret like it’s proof they’re aware, Still blaming themselves for wounds they inherited. But purpose don’t expire when plans fall apart, And value don’t fade just ‘cause life got hard, You’re not late—you’re layered with depth, Every detour added weight to your breath. The strength to keep going when hope feels thin Is proof of the image that lives within, You’re still becoming, still written in light, Even on days when you’re tired of the fight. ⸻ Chorus You are more than the weight you carry, More than the scars you hide, More than the names they gave you When they couldn’t see inside. Breathe it in, you were chosen, Stamped before your first breath started, Made in the image of God Himself— Don’t forget who you are, don’t forget who you are. ⸻ Verse 4 Now the hands shake slightly, hair turned gray, World moves fast, they feel in the way, Stories they lived don’t trend online, So they think their season ran out of time. They watch from the sidelines, quiet and still, Thinking “I’ve given all I could give,” But heaven counts every prayer they’ve said, Every tear they cried when nobody read. Wisdom don’t age out, love don’t retire, Some flames burn softer but deeper in fire, History lives in the lines of their face, They carried the world so others could race. Even now they matter, even now they’re seen, Every breath still echoes eternity, If they knew how much heaven still leans their way, They’d know they’re needed—right here, today. ⸻ Bridge If you got breath, you got meaning, If you’re hurting, you’re human, If you’re lost, you’re not finished, You’re just standing before a new movement. We weren’t made just to survive the days, We were shaped with intention, marked with a name, The world may forget—but truth remains: We carry His image, unbroken, unchanged. ⸻ Final Chorus You are more than the weight you carry, More than the scars you hide, More than the names they gave you When they couldn’t see i
