[Verse 1] I used to think a calling would arrive already named With a road lit like a runway and a choir around the flame But purpose came in smaller clothes, in rooms nobody praised Making one hard thing more human, one dark hallway less afraid [Pre-Chorus] Maybe meaning isn’t thunder Maybe it is what we tend Every ordinary mercy Traveling farther than it ends [Chorus] I don’t need my name in stone I just want the doors I touch to open easier I want the ones who cross my path To leave a little less alone If a life is measured by the shelter that it makes Let mine be the light that stays after I walk away [Verse 2] I have built with charts and heartbeats, wires, questions, open palms Found the sacred in the details, in the systems keeping calm Some days all I leave behind is one clear sentence, one repaired plan But a future can begin inside a thing made easier to understand [Pre-Chorus] Maybe meaning isn’t thunder Maybe it is what we tend Every ordinary mercy Traveling farther than it ends [Chorus] I don’t need my name in stone I just want the doors I touch to open easier I want the ones who cross my path To leave a little less alone If a life is measured by the shelter that it makes Let mine be the light that stays after I walk away [Bridge] Let the frightened feel believed Let the weary find a chair Let the maze become a pathway Because someone chose to care I don’t need to own the harvest I can plant and let it grow Some of the truest things we build Are the ones we’ll never know [Final Chorus] I don’t need my name in stone I can trust the doors I touched will open easier And the ones who crossed my path Might leave a little less alone If a life is measured by the shelter that it makes Let mine be the light that stays after I walk away [Outro] No monument No crown Just something better Left behind
