Use It All

I was given more than I could see, Hidden light inside of me, Quiet dreams I kept too small, Afraid to even try at all. But every day keeps calling me, “Don’t let fear decide your way,” What if all I’m meant to be Is just one step I take today? I don’t want to leave it in the dark, I don’t want to guard my heart, If I fall, at least I know I gave it everything I hold. I will use it all, I won’t let it fade, Every little gift I was ever made, Every spark, every flame inside my soul, I will use it all. I don’t need to shine like anyone, I just need to rise when day is done, When I stand at the edge of it all — I can say: I used it all. Not for glory, not for fame, Not to hear them say my name, Just to know I truly tried, Didn’t let my life pass by. Every moment, every chance, Every risk I didn’t plan, I will take it, I will give Everything I have to live. I don’t want to walk away With a heart that never played, If I break, if I fall — At least I gave it all. I will use it all, I won’t let it fade, Every little gift I was ever made, Every spark, every flame inside my soul, I will use it all. I don’t need to shine like anyone, I just need to rise when day is done, When I stand at the edge of it all — I can say: I used it all. No more hiding, no more waiting, No more “maybe someday” Every breath is something sacred, I won’t throw it all away. Final Chorus (Stronger) I will use it all, every breath, every light, Every fear I turn into a fight, Every dream I once was scared to show — Now I let it go. And when silence finally calls my name, I won’t carry regret or shame, I’ll look up and I will stand up tall — And say: I used it all.
