Meaning

Lyrics

Meaning isn't written on a tablet in the sky It's the contour of your choices as your days go walking by It's the echo of your courage in the places you were small It's the way you learned to answer when your deepest self would call

I roam between the person that I was and yet may be A tightrope made of moments stretched above a shifting sea If there is a grand design, I've never seen the master plan Only how the smallest kindness redraws the shape of man

The meaning of life Is the path I dare to claim To be unrepeatably living In this fragile, borrowed frame Not to solve some hidden riddle Not to earn a perfect grade But to leave behind a pattern In the choices I have made

Some will build their meaning Out of power, praise, or fear Measuring their value By who kneels when they are near I will build my meaning From the lives that cross my own From the freedom I protect in them Not the throne I might have known

The meaning of life Is the distance that I roam Between who I was yesterday And the self I call my home If there is a final answer It is whispered, never shown In the way I walk each moment As if it were my own

One brief crossing One sovereign stride The world unfolds Only From inside
