Lyrics
What's a man to do
Contemplating actions or decisions in a situation
When every dream he's chased comes true
The realization of achieving one's aspirations
All the trophies on a wall
Achievements represented by awards or recognitions
Are gonna lose their shine and fall
The transient nature of worldly accomplishments
What's a stage played on
The platform or context for performance
If we don't give You every song
Dedicating all efforts to a higher purpose
All the cheers and the applause
Praise and admiration from the audience
In the arena they'll be lost
Recognition fades in the larger scheme
What will they think about the things I did
Concern about perception and judgment by others
What will they say about the life I've lived
The legacy and impact left on others
I want them to say...
Desire for a particular perception or acknowledgment
He's the one whose faith didn't fade
Remaining steadfast in faith despite hardships
When everything crashed, he didn't cave
Not giving in during challenging times
He never lost his awe and wonder
Retaining a sense of awe and curiosity
The one that kept me from going under
Being a source of support and stability for others
And he ran a good race
Persisting in living a righteous life
That's what I want, what I want, I want them to say
Desired perception or recognition from others
What if they all know my name
Awareness of personal reputation without depth
But never see beyond my face
Shallow acknowledgment without true understanding
A pointless legacy
The superficiality of leaving a mark
There so much more inside of me
Unexplored depths of character and potential
He fights for the weak
Advocating for those in need
Has arms that reach out for Jesus
A spiritual connection and reliance on faith
Every word that he speaks
Speaking with purpose to inspire belief
Helps me to believe there's a God that loves us
Contributing to the belief in a loving higher power
Oh Lord, I want YOU to say
Seeking validation and approval from a higher authority
