After lunch, back at his desk
The boss says “Can we chat?”
Understand that it’s not you
It’s just that everyone’s cutting back
He wants to cry
I am more than this career
And one day I‘ll be back here
So much stronger than this moment that undermines me
Dare to dig a little deeper and understand
I won’t let this one day define me
The test comes back, the doctor calls
Her life turns upside down
Friends unsure of how to act
Hesitate to come around
She wants to scream
I am more than this disease
I’ve got plans and I have dreams
So much bigger than this cage that confines me
Dare to dig a little deeper and understand
I won’t let this illness define me
Down the road, another show
My name on the marquee
The poster smile greets me at the door
But I’m not sure if that’s me
And still I sing
I more than just this life
More than any joy or strife
So much purer for the fires that refine me
Dare to dig a little deeper and understand
Only the love of God can define me
