Background

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, lead, lead

So won't You take the lead, lead, lead, lead, lead

And I can play the background, the background

And You can 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 gon'loose my soul

And my ways ain't purified

I'll 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 Rock Star

Yeah. So if you need me I'll be stage right

Prayin'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 star dust 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, lead, lead

So won't You take the lead, lead, lead, lead, lead

And I can play the background, the background

And You can 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 that 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 to 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 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, lead, lead

So won't You take the lead, lead, lead, lead, lead

And I can play the background, the background

And You can 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, yet

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, its 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, lead, lead

So won't You take the lead, lead, lead, lead, lead

And I can play the background, the background

And You can 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, lead, lead

So won't You take the lead, lead, lead, lead, lead

And I can play the background, the background.

And You can take the lead
