Not Done Yet

[Intro] I kept a little room inside my chest For every promise I was scared to test If you can hear me, know I did my best But I got more to give, I’m not done yet [Verse 1] I learned to count the blessings, not the losses on the page Mama kept the porch light on through every changing phase My brother knows the quiet when the pressure gets too loud We built a little shelter from the weight around the house I carried old mistakes like coins inside a coat Spent them on forgiveness every time I lost my hope The ones who stayed beside me never asked me to pretend They saw the cracks, then helped me build again I’m not chasing empty numbers, I’m protecting what we made A name that means something when the final check is paid For every door that closed, I found a different way And every mile behind me made me stronger for today [Pre-Chorus] If the road keeps turning, let it turn There are still a few more things to learn With my people close, I know my worth I’m still here, and I’m still reaching first [Chorus] I’m not done yet, no, I’m not done yet There’s a fire in my heart they haven’t touched yet For my family, for the ones who never left I’ll keep walking through the storm, I’m not done yet I’m not done yet, hear me say it clear Every scar became a reason I’m still here If the dream is unfinished, then the ending isn’t set I’ve got miles in these shoes, I’m not done yet [Verse 2] I remember empty rooms and a phone that wouldn’t ring Now the same hands that were shaking help the whole team sing Loyalty is more than standing close when it is bright It is calling out the truth and staying through the night I’ve seen success arrive with a bill I couldn’t hide Seen a friend become a stranger when the numbers multiplied So I keep my circle honest, keep the promise in my tone A legacy is built by what you do when no one knows My daughter sees me working, says she knows I’ll make it through That’s the kind of little sentence that can pull a man anew I don’t need a perfect story, I just need another breath Then I’ll put my hands to work and give tomorrow everything left [Pre-Chorus] If the road keeps turning, let it turn There are still a few more things to learn With my people close, I know my worth I’m still here, and I’m still reaching first [Chorus] I’m not done yet, no, I’m not done yet There’s a fire in my heart they haven’t touched yet For my family, for the ones who never left I’ll keep walking through the storm, I’m not done yet I’m not done yet, hear me say it clear Every scar became a reason I’m still here If the dream is unfinished, then the ending isn’t set I’ve got miles in these shoes, I’m not done yet [Bridge] Raise a hand for every season we survived For the names we carry forward, for the reasons we’re alive No applause can replace the work, no shortcut makes it true I’m taking all I’ve learned and turning it into something new [Final Chorus] I’m not done yet, no, I’m not done yet There’s a fire in my heart they haven’t touched yet For my family, for the ones who never left I’ll keep walking through the storm, I’m not done yet I’m not done yet, let the whole world hear Every scar became a reason I’m still here If the dream is unfinished, then the ending isn’t set I’ve got miles in these shoes, I’m not done yet I’m not done yet I’m not done yet For the ones I love, for the life ahead I’m not done yet [Spoken Outro] To everybody who stayed when the easy road disappeared—thank you. The story is still moving. The work is still calling. And if you’re still breathing, you’re still becoming. I’m not done yet.
