I wasn’t made for standing still,
Sorry ii I don’t fit your bill.
I’m young and I want to live,
I’ve still got more heart to give.
My life won’t be wasted rest,
Or my heart would leave my chest.
Redeeming love with fiery action,
Combined with faith’s close traction.
This place is just a pit stop,
Yet deserving of some thought.
Even though I know the drill,
I wasn’t made for standing still.

The author's comments:
God has called me to be more than average. There is a you-shaped hole in this world, and only you can fill it.
