Background

I can take the background
I can take the background
'Cause I know sometimes I can get in the way
So You can take the lead, lead, lead
Whoa, lead, lead, lead
You can take the lead

And I will follow You

It's evident You run the show so let me back down
You take the leading role, 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
Don't need my name in lights, don't need a starring role
No I can't hold my world, I'm just gon' lose my soul
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, poet, pop star
Me, I play the background but mine's a rock star

So if You need me I'll be stage right
Praying the whole world would start embracing stage fright
So let me fall back, stop giving my suggestions
When I follow my obsessions I end up confessing
That I'm not that impressive, matter fact I'm who I are
But trail of stardust leading to the superstar

I can take the background
I can take the background

'Cause I know sometimes I can get in the way
So You can take the lead, lead, lead
Whoa, lead, lead, lead
You can take the lead

And I will follow You

Yo, yo, 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 wanna take the lead 'cause I'm prone to make mistakes
All these people following me going up in the wrong place
So just let me shadow You, just let me trace Your lines
Matter fact take my pen, hear You create my rhymes

If I do this by myself I'm scared that I'll succeed
And no longer trust in You 'cause I'll only trust in me
And see, that's how you end up headed to destruction
Living a road to nowhere, boy your life fly for nothing
You pull 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 this sound the will, all I know is You the boss
And man I'm so at ease, I'm so content

I play the background like it's an instrument

I can take the background
I can take the background
'Cause I know sometimes I can get in the way
So You can take the lead, lead, lead
Whoa, lead, lead, lead
You can take the lead

And I will follow You

Yeah, yeah, yeah
I know I'm safest when I'm in Your will and trust Your word
I know I'm dangerous when I trust myself my vision blurred
And I ain't got time to play life's foolish games
Got many aims but do they really glorify Your name?
And it's a shame the way I wanna do these things for You yet
Don't even cling to You, take time to sit and glean from You
It seem that You are patient in my ignorance
If ignorance is bliss it's 'cause she never heard of this

I can take the background
I can take the background
'Cause I know sometimes I can get in the way
So You can take the lead, lead, lead
Whoa, lead, lead, lead
You can take the lead
And I will follow You

I can take the background
I can take the background
'Cause I know sometimes I can get in the way
So You can take the lead, lead, lead
Whoa, lead, lead, lead
You can take the lead
And I will follow You
