Finish What You Start
A song about commitment and follow-through - the importance of finishing what you begin
Jordan started building a fort outside, Halfway done, he ran to ride his bike, Mama said, "Come back and finish what you started, Bring the job home — see your fort stand tall!"
Finish what you start — bring it to the end! A half-kept promise is a thing to mend! Finish what you start, see it through — A promise kept is what builds the YOU!
"I'll feed the fish!" said Ava that night, But then forgot for three whole nights, The fish got hungry, waiting for their meal, When you say you'll do it, make it real!
Finish what you start — bring it to the end! A half-kept promise is a thing to mend! Finish what you start, see it through — A promise kept is what builds the YOU!
Starting's easy — the cheer, the spark, the song. Finishing's where the muscles have to come along. The last brick. The last bite. The last note in the air. That's the bit you leave behind to show that you were there.
When you read a book, read to the last page. When you clean your room, don't stop halfway. When you join a team, play all season long — The finish is the part that makes you strong.
Finish what you start — bring it to the end! A half-kept promise is a thing to mend! Finish what you start, see it through — A promise kept is what builds the YOU!
So before you say, "I promise!" or "I'll do it!" Ask first: "Can I finish? Can I really see this through?" If you start it, finish it — line by line, brick by brick. A promise kept is a promise that will stick.
Finish what you start (keep your word!), Bring it to the end (every line, every chord!), Finish what you start, see it through — A promise kept is what builds the YOU!
