Your Name Gets There First
Verse 1
You never chased the loudest crowd,
Never had to shout out proud.
You let your work speak for itself,
Left your pride up on the shelf.
While somebody was talking behind your back,
You were busy staying on your track.
Now they’re finding out what time can prove—
Truth’s a hard thing to remove.
Chorus
Your name gets there first,
Long before your boots hit the dirt.
Folks remember how you made them feel,
That’s the kind of thing that’s real.
They can throw stones till the whole world hurts,
But they can’t wash away your worth.
Love and truth outlive the worst…
Your name gets there first.
Verse 2
They thought folks would believe the noise,
Trade their peace for someone else’s choice.
But hearts ain’t empty cups to fill,
People know who’s standing still.
They remember when you lent a hand,
When you gave without demand.
Those little things you thought were small
Built the strongest bridge of all.
Bridge
You don’t owe the wind an explanation.
You don’t have to fight every accusation.
Time’s got a funny way of making clear
Who’s been speaking truth year after year.
Let your footsteps tell your story,
Leave the talking to your glory.
Final Chorus
Your name gets there first,
Long before your boots hit the dirt.
Folks remember how you made them feel,
That’s the kind of thing that’s real.
They can throw stones till the whole world hurts,
But they can’t wash away your worth.
The deepest roots survive the worst…
Your name gets there first.
Outro
So keep walking like you’ve always done.
Morning always finds the sun.
The truth don’t hurry… it just arrives.
And your name keeps showing up long before you do.
