Verse 1 Well, I walked into that ballroom With the chandeliers so bright, Billionaires in black tuxedos Polished up just right. But I didn’t come for glamour, No diamonds in the sky— Just a girl from humble mountains With a truth you can’t deny. Verse 2 I said, “Money makes you sparkle, But it can’t make you kind. The biggest shine you’ll ever have Is the one you leave behind.” ’Cause I’ve seen folks with nothing Give everything they had— And I’ve seen rich folks walking Past a broken heart so sad. Chorus So shine it while you’ve got it, Give love while you’re here. Ain’t no pockets in a casket, Ain’t no gold in heaven’s mirror. Your time is just a moment, Your legacy’s the part Where you lift somebody up in love And lead with all your heart. Verse 3 I told that crowd of power, “Y’all could change the world tonight. Before dessert hits your tables, You could make somebody’s life.” It ain’t the fame or fortune That makes your soul stand tall— It’s the way you use your blessings When the Lord begins to call. Chorus So shine it while you’ve got it, Give love while you’re here. Ain’t no pockets in a casket, Ain’t no gold in heaven’s mirror. Your time is just a moment, Your legacy’s the part Where you lift somebody up in love And lead with all your heart. Bridge You can chase a thousand sunsets, Wear a crown of silver gold— But it’s kindness that’ll keep you warm When life starts turning cold. And when your name is spoken Long after you depart— They won’t recall your riches, They’ll recall your open heart. Final Chorus So shine it while you’ve got it, Give love while you’re here. Ain’t no pockets in a casket, Ain’t no gold in heaven’s mirror. Your time is just a moment, Your legacy’s the part Where you lift somebody up in love And lead with all your heart. Outro So spend your life on people, On mercy, hope, and grace— Honey, that’s the kind of treasure Time can never erase. Lift somebody up in love And lead with all your heart. Don’t you dare forget: talent and success don’t make you special. What you do with them does. Money’s only worth something when you spend it on something that matters Lift somebody up in love And lead with all your heart.
