Description
Thank you so much to everyone who allowed this happen. This film/song means more to me than anything I've ever made. It was the first time I was able to use both of my passions together. I really hope you enjoy this, and am excited for you to see what’s yet to come. God's got a plan.
Remember that life is greater than numbers. Never let up.

Lyrics:
Made to be
By: Karson Utzinger
We live in a world
So dark and so cold
People fighting dime after dime
As others watch it unfold
Why is it so hard for the light to shine
For us to be bold
We are stuck in this circle of life
Money, lust, and to be known
I don’t wanna be, replicated as those in front of me
I might have to stand on my own, on my own rock alone
I don’t wanna be
I don’t wanna be
Cuz I just wanna be, who I was made to be
Not what’s expected (spected)
but a life lived differently
I just want this world to see
That there’s another possibility
Same game, Big fame, Stage names
Oh it’s all just a repeating play
I don’t wanna be define by designer and rings
Or as someone who suffocates thousands so his dream could breathe
Your lane, big chains, life drains
Oh this world is all the same
Built for destruction, devoted to the game
The Fight for relevance, our own name
I don’t wanna be
I don’t wanna be
Cuz I just wanna be, who I was made to be
Not what’s expected (spected)
but a life lived differently
I just want this world to see
That there’s another possibility
(Oh sequence)
Cuz I just wanna be, who I was made to be
Not what’s expected (spected)
but a life lived differently
There’s a plan for you and for me, one that’s mapped out perfectly
Not dependent on vanity
Or the measure of your salary
Why is it so hard, to be thankful for today, no matter its success, no matter it’s pay
Why is it so hard, for us to be content,
Constant comparison, scared to be different
Why is it so hard, to (ap)plaud those around, especially when personal progress isn’t found
Same game, Big fame, stage names
All of it is gonna end up the same
I don’t wanna be, no-
I don’t wanna be
Cuz I just wanna be, who
I was made to be
