How much time Have I thrown away Counting every shadow On a bright clear day Scrolling through my worries Like a glowing wall of lies Heart racing in a room Where nothing ever dies Is this how You meant me To spend this little life Burning it on anger Feeding every fright Or did You leave Your heartbeat In pages I don't touch enough To turn all this fear into wisdom All this pain into love I pace like a prisoner With an open cell Carrying my shame Like a story I sell But when I sit in the quiet And breathe Your name slow The storms don't stop But the roots still grow Is this how You meant me To spend this little life Burning it on anger Feeding every fright Or did You leave Your heartbeat In pages I don't touch enough To turn all this fear into wisdom All this pain into love So teach me to trade Every late-night "what if" For a whispered "let it be" Teach me to pour out My trembling hands Into someone else's need (oh) Every simple kindness Is a sermon to my soul Every silent moment Where Your mercy makes me whole Is this how You meant me To spend this little life Burning it on anger Feeding every fright Or did You leave Your heartbeat In every quiet act of trust To turn all this fear into wisdom All this pain into love One breath at a time One small faithful step I give You my worry You give me Your rest
