Built for the Wait
Inspiration + Summary
Full Lyrics
Verse 1
Alarm in the dark like a hit to the spine
Feet on the floor and I’m already behind
Coffee and keys and a head full of noise
Kiss on the forehead—“Be good, boys”
Same road, same traffic, same wheel I turn
I wear “stable” like a shirt that burns
But my mind’s somewhere miles from this seat
With a match in my pocket and fire in my teeth
Pre-Chorus
I don’t hate the work
I hate what it costs
All these hours I hand away
To avoid being lost
Chorus
I’m doing what I have to
Dreaming what I will
Building my future brick by brick
While the world stands still
I’m tired, but I’m true
I bend, but I don’t break
One day this grind won’t own me—
I’m built for the wait
Verse 2
Meetings and numbers and “one more thing”
Smiling on cue while my chest feels tight
I don’t want easy—I want what’s mine
A life that feels like I chose the ride
I’ve got mouths to feed, so I play it smart
But there’s something louder than fear in my heart
I’m not lazy—I’m loaded
With a life I haven’t lived yet
And it’s calling me out of the smoke
Pre-Chorus
I got bills that don’t sleep
So I swallow the urge
But it’s still beating
Like “Don’t forget first.”
Chorus
I’m doing what I have to
Dreaming what I will
Building my future brick by brick
While the world stands still
I’m tired, but I’m true
I bend, but I don’t break
One day this grind won’t own me—
I’m built for the wait
Bridge
Some nights I stare at the ceiling
Like time is a thief in my home
But I’ve seen a man turn to a mountain
With nothing but grit and his hope
No shortcuts
No handouts
No perfect escape
Just a vision that won’t quit
And a plan that I make
Final Chorus
I’m doing what I have to
But I’m becoming what I want
Turning heavy days into fuel
Til the ceiling’s gone
I’m tired, but I’m dangerous
I’ve got faith in my name
One day they’ll ask how I did it—
I’ll point to the fire I made
Yeah the clock tried to break me
But it couldn’t steal my flame
One day this grind won’t own me—
I’m built for the wait
Outro
I’m not stuck… I’m loading.
I’m not lost… I’m learning.
This isn’t the end…
It’s the earning.

Sam's Becoming
Inspiration + Summary
Full Lyrics
Dad’s name still stitched on the tag
Mailboxes with names, old songs on FM static
Every town whispers, hey Sam, you don’t have to stay
Verse 2
He learned early the world is wide
No boundaries once he’s past one-fifty-nine
So he packed his dreams in the trunk with his youth
Left room for mistakes, and a little faith too
Chorus
He’s chasing the man he hasn’t met yet
Heart out front, no fallback plans
He doesn’t know where it’s going
Still he’s moving when he can
But he can feel who he’s becoming
Ooo, He can feel who he’s becoming
Verse 3
He’s slept under stars he couldn’t name
Shared stories with strangers who felt the same
Heard his voice echo in empty halls
Felt small—and somehow ten feet tall
Verse 4
He’s chosen wrong with the best intent
Paid in days he never got back again
Some answers don’t come in time
So he keeps moving — doesn’t ask why
Chorus
He’s chasing the man he hasn’t met yet
Heart out front, no fallback plans
He doesn’t know where it’s going
Still he’s moving when he can
But he can feel who he’s becoming
Ooo, He can feel who he’s becoming
Bridge
Becoming isn’t arriving
It’s about surviving
Clash of shame and ego
Each day builds tomorrow
Final Chorus
Sam’s still chasing the man he hasn’t met yet
Heart out front, no fallback plans
He doesn’t know where it’s going
Still he’s moving when he can
But he can feel who he’s becoming
Ooo, He can feel who he’s becoming
Outro
He doesn’t know where it’s going
Ooo, He can feel who he’s becoming

It's People
Inspiration + Summary
Full Lyrics
Have you ever stopped mid-sentence
To find eyes wouldn’t meet your own?
Have you turned the lens back on yourself,
Or only searched others to find what’s wrong?
Verse 2 – The Damage
Have you asked real questions
Without rehearsing a defense?
Have you made amends for a mistake
That left you smaller when it was said?
Chorus
It’s people, I tell you
It’s people,
It’s people who make the days what they are
It’s people
It’s people, will you
Be the reason
Our world can breathe
Verse 3 – The Standard
Have you met the ones who soften a space
Just by being who they are
Who make you better than
You ever thought you could be
Bridge
When your minutes arrive
And the moment is raw
Who will you reveal?
How do you show up?
How do others feel?
Final Chorus
It’s people, I tell you
It’s people,
It’s people who make the days what they are
It’s people
It’s people, will you
Be the reason
Our world can breathe
Outro
People, people, people
Will you be the reason
Our world can breathe
