[Tin Whistle Intro - 8 seconds, contemplative and hopeful] [Verse 1 - Rap] Count my blessings every morning, got a roof and got my health Family loves me, friends are loyal, built a decent bit of wealth Not the millions, not the mansions, but I'm comfortable and free Got the basics and some extras, living gratefully Watch these people on my timeline living larger than life Speaking tours and selling stadiums, everything going right And I'm happy for them, genuinely, no hate in my heart But there's this tiny voice that wonders when's my time to start [Chorus - Ethereal Sung] I'm blessed but not chosen (At least not yet, maybe never) I'm blessed but not chosen And I'm learning that's okay Got everything I need right here Even if the spotlight stays away I'm blessed but not chosen Living grateful anyway [Verse 2 - Rap] See the ones with that calling, that undeniable pull Destiny written on their faces, living purposeful Meanwhile I'm just doing my thing, making art, making moves Not changing the whole world but getting in my groove Sometimes wonder what it feels like to be picked for something great To have a mission so clear that the universe can't wait But then I look around my life at what I've actually built This peaceful, blessed existence with no reason to feel guilt [Chorus - Ethereal Sung] I'm blessed but not chosen (Maybe someday, maybe not) I'm blessed but not chosen And that's a gift too Joy in what I have right now Even if I never break through I'm blessed but not chosen This life is still true [Bridge - Spoken/Sung Mix, honest and vulnerable] What if chosen never comes? What if blessed is all I get? Would that make this life less meaningful? Would I live with some regret? Or maybe being blessed without the burden Of destiny's heavy call Is its own kind of chosen Just a quieter role, that's all Maybe I'm exactly where I need to be Maybe blessed is chosen in a way I couldn't see [Final Chorus - Powerful, accepting] I'm blessed but not chosen (And I'm making peace with that) I'm blessed but not chosen But I'm rich in other ways Got love and art and purpose here Even if I'm not on that stage I'm blessed but not chosen Grateful for these days Grateful for these days [Outro - Tin Whistle returns, peaceful and complete] Maybe blessed is enough Maybe blessed is enough
