Verse 1 (quiet, spacious) I kept the books on every deal, each debt repaid, each dollar made. I saw the growth in everyone, but measured mine by others’ praise. I closed the one they said I couldn’t; by noon the praise was gone. I searched their faces for my worth, as if their judgment made it so. Pre-Chorus (begin to lift) Then love arrived with nothing due, no terms to meet, no debt to pay. I opened up my empty hands and let that love come in and stay. Chorus (open and full) I’m already loved. Before I ever built a thing, the way I loved my children before they learned to walk or sing. The ledger is closed. It was never mine to balance. I’m a child of God; I’m already home. I’m already loved. Verse 2 (warm, assured) I see the life behind the numbers, the fear beneath a founder’s plan. I make the complex simple and put the next step in their hands. Building people is my purpose. I meet them one by one. I’m a window for the light now; now I know where the light comes from. Chorus (open and full) Already loved. Before I ever built a thing, the way I loved my children before they learned to walk or sing. The ledger is closed. It was never mine to balance. I’m a child of God; I’m already home. I’m already loved. Bridge (close, almost spoken) I speak my truth from any stage; there’s nothing left to prove. I miss a note; I sing again; grace gives me room to move. I found a love no gold can buy, a wealth beyond the score. I stay connected, give it out, and find there’s always more. Guitar solo (expressive, building) (Quietly, as the guitar settles) This is my song. And I’ll sing it every day. Final Chorus (fullest lift) Already loved. Before I ever built a thing, the way I loved my children before they learned to walk or sing. The ledger is closed. It was never mine to balance. What I love, what I build, what I give flows from the love I’ve received. I’m a child of God; I’m already home. I’m already loved. Outro (speech-level singing, fading) Light. Whole. Clear. One by one. Already home. Already loved.
