| I could play the background
|
| I could play the background
|
| 'Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
|
| So won’t You take the lead, lead, lead?
|
| So won’t You take the lead, lead, lead?
|
| And I could play the background, background
|
| And You could take the lead
|
| It’s evident You run the show, so let me back down
|
| You take the leading role, and I’ll play the background
|
| I know I miss my cues, know I forget my lines
|
| I’m sticking to your script, and I’m reading all your signs
|
| I don’t need my name in lights, I don’t need a starring role
|
| And why gain the whole wide world, If I’m just going lose my soul
|
| And my ways ain’t pure if I don’t live according to Your Word
|
| I can’t endure this life without Your wisdom being heard
|
| So word, to every dancer for a pop star
|
| 'Cause we all play the background, but mine’s a rockstar
|
| Yeah, so if You need me I’ll be stage right
|
| Praying the whole world will start embracing stage fright
|
| So let me fall back, and stop giving my suggestions
|
| 'Cause when I follow my obsessions, I end up confessing
|
| That I’m not that impressive, matter of fact
|
| I’m who I are, a trail of stardust leading to the superstar
|
| I could play the background
|
| I could play the background
|
| 'Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
|
| So won’t You take the lead, lead, lead?
|
| So won’t You take the lead, lead, lead?
|
| And I could play the background, background
|
| And you could take the lead
|
| I had a dream that I was captain of my soul
|
| I was master of my fate, lost control, and then I sank
|
| So I don’t want to take the lead, 'cause I’m prone to make mistakes
|
| All these folks who follow me, gon' end up in the wrong place
|
| So just let me shadow You, and just let me trace Your lines
|
| Matter of fact, just take my pen, here, You create my rhymes
|
| 'Cause if I do this by myself, I’m scared that I’ll succeed
|
| And no longer trust in You, 'cause I only trust in me
|
| And see, that’s how you end up headed to destruction
|
| Paving a road to nowhere, pour your life out for nothing
|
| You pulled my card, I’m bluffing, You know what’s in my hand
|
| Me, I just roll and trust You, You 'cause the dice to land
|
| I’m in control of nothing, follow You at any cost
|
| Some call it sovereign will, all I know is You the boss
|
| And man, I’m so at ease, I’m so content
|
| I’ll play the background, like it’s an instrument
|
| I could play the background
|
| I could play the background
|
| 'Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
|
| So won’t You take the lead, lead, lead?
|
| So won’t You take the lead, lead, lead?
|
| And I could play the background, background
|
| And You could take the lead
|
| I know I’m safest when I’m in Your will, and trust Your Word
|
| And I know I’m dangerous when I trust myself, my vision blurred
|
| And I ain’t got no time to play life’s foolish games
|
| Got plenty aims, but do they really glorify Your name
|
| And it’s a shame, the way I want to do these things for You, yeah
|
| Don’t even cling to you, take time to sit and glean from You
|
| It seems that You were patient in my ignorance
|
| If ignorance is bliss, it’s 'cause she never heard of this
|
| I could play the background
|
| I could play the background
|
| 'Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
|
| So won’t You take the lead, lead, lead?
|
| So won’t You take the lead, lead, lead?
|
| And I could play the background, background
|
| And You could take the lead
|
| I could play the background
|
| I could play the background
|
| 'Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
|
| So won’t You take the lead, lead, lead?
|
| So won’t You take the lead, lead, lead?
|
| And I could play the background, background
|
| And You could take the lead. |
