The Path We Tread
Embracing Impactful Change: Leaving a Mark on the World
Lyrics
Have I given enough of myself to make a difference?
Reflecting on whether the speaker has contributed enough to make a positive impact.
Have I given enough of myself to bring a change?
Questioning if the speaker's efforts have been sufficient to bring about meaningful change.
Have I worn my heart on my sleeve or poured it out on the page?
Contemplating if the speaker has been emotionally open or expressed feelings through writing.
Have I left a piece of myself on stage?
Wondering if the speaker has left a lasting impression or part of themselves during performances.
I just want so badly to do what's right.
Expressing a strong desire to do what is morally right.
To make my wife happy and to make my parents proud.
Desiring to bring happiness to the speaker's wife and pride to the speaker's parents.
To take something of meaning to the top of the mountain.
Aspiring to achieve something meaningful and significant in life.
Hold nothing back and scream it out loud.
Encouraging the idea of being open and vocal without holding back.
And maybe if my words are bolder.
Hoping that expressing words more boldly will have a lasting impact.
When I'm older
Considering the potential fulfillment when looking back on life in older age.
I'll look back in time and feel fulfilled.
Anticipating a sense of fulfillment when reflecting on the past.
If one thing I've said touches one kid's heart.
Finding satisfaction if the speaker's words resonate with at least one person.
I can look back and say I did my part.
Feeling accomplished if the speaker's words positively impact someone's heart.
And maybe if my words are bolder.
(Repetition of lines 11-15)
When I'm older
-I'll look back in time and feel fulfilled.
-If one thing I've said touches one kid's heart.
-I can look back and say I did my part.
-Don't know where it'll lead but I know that I need to go.
Expressing uncertainty about the future but recognizing the necessity to move forward.
Into the world and tell all of these things I know.
Determined to share knowledge and experiences with the world.
Inside my heart are true and just try to show.
Committing to being genuine and showing the positive impact of faith.
What God's done for me so I'll take that step and just go
Taking a step into the world to share the speaker's faith journey.
into the world.
(Repetition of lines 23-26)
And if an impact is made on just one mind.
Hoping that the speaker's words make a lasting impact on at least one person's mind.
Then a piece of our hearts had been left behind.
Believing that leaving a piece of one's heart behind is a meaningful achievement.
If one kid carries on the life we've led.
Desiring continuity of a positive life path in future generations.
Then the path we tread
Emphasizing that the impact and influence continue indefinitely.
is endless.
Highlighting the endless nature of the positive life path.
And if an impact is made on just one mind.
(Repetition of lines 29-33)
Then a piece of our hearts had been left behind.
-If one kid carries on the life we've led.
-Then the path we tread
-is endless.
-Endless.
Emphasizing the everlasting nature of the positive impact.
