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?
 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
 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, 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 let me just shadow you, 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
 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
 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 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.
