WHEN I'M GONE

WHEN I'M GONE

(Verse I)
When I sing or write
I want you to know my heart
When I speak, give light
It’s because I want to spark within you
Something that is new
It’s really about you
All I am living for
I’m just an open door

When I dance, perform
It’s not just means to getting more
Don’t want to be cliché
Just trying to say something old
In a new way
To make you see
You have destiny
Don’t be afraid to dream
To live beyond your reach

(Chorus)
When I’m gone
I want to know that something I have done
Has changed a life
Mended a soul
When I leave
Please know I gave you
All that was given to me
The best of me:

(Refrain)
Please remember when I’m done
Just wanted to touch everyone
Then I’ll fade into my Song
When I’m Gone

(Verse II)
All that I’ve been through
I used to think it was about me
And now all I do
It has humbled me enough to know
That love is all there is
It’s as simple as this
No amount of fame
Could ever change that plan

Make no mistake, it’s true
I am not preaching or pretending
I’m only human, but when
I look into the mirror
I can see the face of God
Rising like the tide
Urging me to sing truth
It’s what I was born to do

(Chorus)
When I’m gone
I want to know that something that I said
Has healed a heart
Torn down a wall
When I leave
Please know I gave you
All that was given to me
The best of me:

(Refrain)
Please remember when I’ve won
Just wanted to love everyone
Then I’ll fade the Son
When I’m Gone

(Bridge)
When I’m gone
I want to know something I left behind
Will save a soul
When my time is through
There's nothing left to do
I want to know my work is done
When my life is over
And my spirit soars
I want to hear Him say well done
You left a light
And it still shines
In a world embracing darkness

(Chorus)
When I’m gone
I want to know that something that I said
Has changed a life
Mended a soul
When I leave
Please know I gave you
All that was given to me
The best of me:

(Refrain)
Please remember when I’m done
Just wanted to touch everyone
Then I’ll fade into the Son
When I’m gone

Please remember when I’ve won
Just wanted to love everyone
Then I’ll fade into my Song
When I’m gone...

P-U-R-P-O-S-E

I just thought I would share my purpose for living, for being, for manifesting, for dreaming, for doing, for having been created, for co-creating, and the truth of my purest thought of heart...

This IS my purpose.

Do you know yours???

What will be thought, said, done, accomplished, changed, brightened, healed, taught...as a result of your ever having existed here on Earth?

This song, this blog, is not an excercise in, or a celebration in or of death (though physical death is inevitable for us all, regardless of the discomfort that notion brings), but it is an exercise, an attempt to get you to think about your purpose...an exercise in LIFE and it's meaning.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

I've often heard it said that the BULK of the world's greatest songs, most beautiful art, cures for diseases, most prolific writings, and a host of world changing ideas, all reside in one place...

THE GRAVE...

Because a purpose filled life was not lived by those who were blessed with these gifts, ideas, philosophies, talents, that if put to use, might have changed the WORLD! A sad truth, isn't it?...


So tell me:

What will your legacy be???

Or do you plan on taking your contribution to the world, to life itself, with you to the grave?
