Lyrics

"What's in Your Cup?"
Verse 1:
Holding a cup of coffee, warm and bright,
Walking through the morning, everything feels right.
But then someone bumps you, and it all spills out,
In that moment of chaos, what's it all about?

Chorus:
What's in your cup when life gets tough?
Is it joy and peace, is it love enough?
When the world shakes you, makes you stumble and fall,
What spills out of your heart when you're giving your all?

Verse 2:
It's easy to smile when the sun is shining clear,
But when the storms roll in, what will appear?
Do you spill out anger, bitterness, and pain,
Or do you find the strength to dance in the rain?

Chorus:
What's in your cup when life gets tough?
Is it joy and peace, is it love enough?
When the world shakes you, makes you stumble and fall,
What spills out of your heart when you're giving your all?

Bridge:
Fill it up with gratitude, forgiveness, and grace,
With words of affirmation, let love take its place.
Resilience and kindness, gentleness and cheer,
Let these be the things that spill when life draws near.

Verse 3:
Life hands you the cup, but you choose what’s inside,
Fill it with the good, let your spirit be your guide.
When you're rattled and shaken, what will overflow?
Let it be the light that in the darkness will glow.

Chorus:
What's in your cup when life gets tough?
Is it joy and peace, is it love enough?
When the world shakes you, makes you stumble and fall,
What spills out of your heart when you're giving your all?

Outro:
So ask yourself today, what fills your soul?
When life’s storms come your way, will you stay whole?
Fill your cup with love, let it overflow,
And when you're bumped and shaken, let your true self show.
