Staring at these city lights, chasing ghosts that I can’t hold Climbing up these broken rungs, selling pieces of my soul Every title that I grab just leaves me emptier inside Building walls around my dreams, but they’re crumbling with the tide I hear the quiet in the chaos, pulling me another way A voice that cuts through all the noise, saying there’s another play Lord, Help me live with Purpose, not this Position in this world Tired of feeding my own fire, watching everything just burn When I’m living for the spotlight, only chasing my desires All these goals and empty empires, fuel for funeral pyres But when I line up with Your calling, something in me comes alive I align inside Your story — yeah, I’m done just trying to survive Position’s like a cheap high, it hits hard then leaves you broke Desires got me twisted up, chained down by the jokes I told I was king inside my castle, but the throne was made of sand One wave from real life hits and I’m drowning where I stand I’m done pretending I got answers, done with all the games I play There’s gotta be a better reason than just getting through the day Lord, Help me live with Purpose, not this Position in this world Tired of feeding my own fire, watching everything just burn When I’m living for the spotlight, only chasing my desires All these goals and empty empires, fuel for funeral pyres But when I line up with Your calling, something in me comes alive I align inside Your story — yeah, I’m done just trying to survive I lay it down, every name, every crown I thought I needed All the noise, all the fame, every lie that I believed in Not my will, not my way — take this fighting heart and break it Let Your truth crash like thunder, ‘til there’s nothing left to fake it Lord, Help me live with Purpose, not this Position in this world Rip these chains off of my spirit, let Your freedom be unfurled When the world screams “climb higher,” I’m gonna stand right where I fall Only You can make it matter — only You can save us all I align with what You’re building, breathing fire into these veins Purpose over Position — yeah, I’m never going back again Purpose… over Position… Align me with creation… I’m done living for myself… Yeah, I’m living for something real…
