While I'm Still Here

While I’m still here, I wanna feel the rain, Hear the waves calling out my name. Build something real with open hands, And stand by it if it falls again. I don’t need noise, I don’t need fame, I don’t need crowns or borrowed praise. If I’m rich at all in this short life, Let it be in breath, in sky, in light. I don’t wanna rush, I don’t wanna hide, Every truth feels louder when I’m alive. While I’m still here, I choose to feel, Every breath, every moment real. I won’t run, I won’t live half-true, I won’t be small to fit the room. While I’m still here, I’ll love out loud, Say what matters, lose the doubt. If this is all I get to be, I’ll live it fully — honestly. I wanna rise before the sun, And greet the day like it’s begun. Read the truth behind the eyes, Leave the preaching, keep it kind. I’ll keep my face, I’ll keep my name, I won’t trade truth for an easier game. I’ll pay in heart, not coins or fear, And trust my dreams while I’m still here. I don’t wanna teach, I don’t wanna rule, I just wanna learn how to stay human too. While I’m still here, I choose to feel, Every breath, every moment real. I won’t run, I won’t live half-true, I won’t be small to fit the room. While I’m still here, I’ll love out loud, Say what matters, lose the doubt. If this is all I get to be, I’ll live it fully — honestly.
