Woke up searching in the quiet dawn
For a spark that says why I carry on
They say that truth is written in the stars
But here I am, still wondering who we are
So many paths laid before me to try
People telling me their reasons why
But maybe the answer isn't in the sky
Maybe it's here, just a choice to apply
I choose the meaning, I carve it deep
In the love I give, and the dreams I keep
No one path can tell me how to be
I choose the meaning, and it chooses me
I've seen people with their golden plans
Counting worth in silver, houses, land
But when they speak, there's a hollowness there
And I wonder if they know or if they care
I've felt the pull of that endless race
But I need more than a prize to chase
If I don't find it on the journey's line
Then the meaning's just a story I design
Maybe it's laughter that keeps me alive
Maybe it's kindness that lets me survive
Maybe it's the passion in all that we build
Or the quiet peace when the world goes still
The choice is the beauty, the answer's in me
To give this life the color I need
I choose the meaning, I carve it deep
In the love I give, and the dreams I keep
No one path can tell me how to be
I choose the meaning, and it chooses me
So let the world keep searching on
I'll find my truth in the morning sun
Every heartbeat, every dream renewed
I am the meaning, I choose what's true
I've seen people with their golden plans
Counting worth in silver, houses, land
But when they speak, there's a hollowness there
And I wonder if they know or if they care
I've felt the pull of that endless race
But I need more than a prize to chase
If I don't find it on the journey's line
Then the meaning's just a story I design
Maybe it's laughter that keeps me alive
Maybe it's kindness that lets me survive
Maybe it's the passion in all that we build
Or the quiet peace when the world goes still
The choice is the beauty, the answer's in me
To give this life the color I need
Maybe it's laughter that keeps me alive
Maybe it's kindness that lets me survive
Maybe it's the passion in all that we build
Or the quiet peace when the world goes still
The choice is the beauty, the answer's in me
