End of the day
Shawn McDonald Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some might say that I'm a dreamer
'Cause I believe love can change the world
I sit in the middle of what seems hopeless
I wanna live to be the hope
I wanna live, I wanna live

To be the man I'm meant to be
You've got the best of me
All I've got is today and tonight
I don't know what tomorrow may bring
Jumpin' in with all my heart
I won't wait another day to start
Trying to see a smiling face
At the end of the day
At the end of the day

I want my heart to beat with passion
I want my motive to be pure
I want the legacy that I leave
To affect the life You gave me
In everything I do, I wanna choose

To be the man I'm meant to be
You've got the best of me
All I've got is today and tonight
I don't know what tomorrow may bring
Jumpin' in with all my heart
I won't wait another day to start
Trying to see a smiling face
At the end of the day
At the end of the day
At the end of the day
At the end of the day

Never stop fighting, never stop dreaming
Never stop giving, never stop speaking
Heart set on what matters
Love keeps us together
Never stop fighting, never stop dreaming
Never stop giving, never stop speaking
Heart set on what matters
Love keeps us together

To be the man I'm meant to be
You've got the best of me
All I got is today and tonight, so I'm
Jumpin' in with all my heart
I won't wait another day to start
Trying to see a smiling face

Never stop fighting, never stop dreaming
Never stop giving, never stop speaking
Heart set on what matters
Love keeps us together
Never stop fighting, never stop dreaming
Never stop giving, never stop speaking




Heart set on what matters
Love keeps us together

Knowing your testimony of coming to faith and your recent divorce I have to say this song really hit home for me. Sometimes I ask God if I can continue loving the way he asks with a bare and broken heart. This song really encouraged me. It's about jumping in love in the here and now even when I feel like I can't anymore because if I love that way it's no longer out of my love but out of Jesus love. Thank you for staying faithful to God. You have truly been a witness to what a relationship with Jesus is all about.
