I just wanna build people up

Like my Mama taught me when I was a child

Encourage their confidence till it reaches the stars

They feel no shame from their brokenness or scars

I just wanna build people up

Shake their hand and take note of their game

For when they enter the doorway

I surprise them with a smile and better yet,

a drop of their name

Kill ‘em with kindness before I knock ‘em dead

Knock ‘em dead with compliments that is

I just wanna build people up

Whenever we all get harnessed with what we’re doing next

I’ll help to guide, lead, and shine the way

As long as they choose what path suits them best
