0040 It Chose Me [Verse] I used to think I had a say in it Turns out… I was just answering (Verse 1) Didn’t wake up one day and decide who I’d be Didn’t pick this weight or this responsibility Didn’t choose the nights where I couldn’t sleep Or the voices in my head running circles on repeat It just showed up, piece by piece A life I didn’t plan but I couldn’t leave Every door I walked through closed behind Like I wasn’t choosing—it was choosing mine (Pre-Chorus) I kept asking why me Till I saw it clearly It wasn’t random, it wasn’t free It was already written in me (Chorus) I didn’t pick this life, it picked me Every weight, every soul, every need And I stood there like I had a choice But deep down… I just heard the voice Said “this is yours, don’t run from it Every scar, every part of it You don’t find purpose—you grow into it I didn’t choose this life… it chose me (Verse 2) Kids in the house, chaos in the air Didn’t feel ready but I was already there Didn’t feel strong but I didn’t leave Something in me wouldn’t let me Tried to fight it, tried to walk away But every path led me back the same Like I was built for the weight I hold Even when I didn’t know my role (Bridge – stripped, honest) Maybe I ain’t here by chance Maybe I’m the answer to a question I don’t understand Maybe all the pain, all the strain Was shaping hands that could carry the weight (Final Chorus – lifted but grounded) I didn’t pick this life, it picked me Every moment that I didn’t see Every time I thought I’d break apart Was just it building who I are And I don’t question it anymore Why I stand where I stood before If it’s mine, then I’ll see it through This life chose me… and I choose it too Wasn’t lost Just being led
