Meant to Be
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Long before you drew your first breath
A dream was coming true
God wanted to give a gift to the world
So he wrapped it up in you
Every step that you've taken
Every move that you make
Is part of his plan
You were meant to be touching
The lives that you touch
And meant to be here
Making this world so much more
Than it would be without you in it
You were meant to be bringing
The gifts that you bring
And singing the songs
You've been given to sing
You are perfectly, wonderfully
Beautifully meant to be
You were meant to be
Long before you took your first fall
You stumbled to the ground
God started telling the story of you to the angels around
Every failure and victory
Everything in between
Its all in his hand
You were meant to be touching
The lives that you touch
And meant to be here
Making this world so much more
Than it would be without you in it
You were meant to be bringing
The gifts that you bring
And singing the songs
You've been given to sing
You are perfectly, wonderfully
Beautifully meant to be
You were meant to be (yeah)
Meant to be
You are
You are
You are meant to be
You are
You are
You are meant to be
For every breath that you're taking
And every move that you make
It's a meaningful life you've been given
Live it well
You were meant to be touching
The lives that you touch
And meant to be here
Making this world so much more
Than it would be without you in it
You were meant to be bringing
The gifts that you bring
And singing the songs
You've been given to sing
You are perfectly, wonderfully
Beautifully meant to be
You were meant to be
You were meant to be
You were meant to be
To be
You were meant to be
