I was born for more (Lyrics by Mark Ward)
Verse 1
I was born for more than the man I am today,
More than echoes that are fading away.
My reflection whispers secrets I can’t ignore,
It tells me softly, you were born for more.
Chorus
I was born for more, I can feel it in my bones,
Not just drifting through the silence, not just standing alone.
My reflection stares back, it’s knocking on my soul,
Saying rise up, don’t settle—you were born for more.
Verse 2
I’ve carried guilt like a suitcase, heavy and worn,
Watched the fire of my youth flicker and die.
But the mirror shows a spark I can’t deny,
A flame still burning, reaching for the sky.
Chorus
I was born for more, I can feel it in my bones,
Not just drifting through the silence, not just standing alone.
My reflection stares back, it’s knocking on my soul,
Saying rise up, don’t settle—you were born for more.
Bridge
Time has stolen years, but it can’t steal my song,
Every scar I’ve carried made me twice as strong.
The river keeps on moving, the tide rises then it falls,
But I can change the ending to my song .
Final Chorus (lifted, emotional)
I was born for more, I was made to stand tall,
To love, to lose, to stumble, but to rise above it all.
My reflection smiles now, it’s brighter than before,
It says walk on, keep singing—you were born for more.
