Made Better

[Intro: Marimba and bass]
Who made this?
Who decided?
What does making mean?

[Verse 1]
I didn't place each little letter
I didn't draw each line
But I knew what needed changing
And what deserved more time

I asked a thousand questions
Rejected half the answers
And recognized the difference
Between impressive and important

[Pre-Chorus: Rising vocal harmonies]
It's not just what gets finished
It's the reason and the care

[Chorus: Bright melodic syncopation]
I take pride in what I'm making
In the judgment and the vision
In the courage to imagine
And the patience for revision
Let the instruments evolve
Let the methods rearrange
What matters is the meaning
And the choices that remain

[Verse 2]
I can teach somebody something
That might change the way they think
I can turn a strange abstraction
Into something they can build

[Bridge: Interlocking guitars]
(Not every answer is a solution)
(Not every output is creation)
The craft is in the questions
And the responsibility

[Final Chorus: Triumphant harmonies]
I take pride in what I'm making
Not because I did it all
But because I cared enough
To know which answers to recall

[Outro: Solo fretless bass]
I made a choice.
Then made it better.
