[Chorus:]
2
I could play the background
3
I could play the background
4
Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
5
So won't You take the lead, lead, lead?
6
So won't You take the lead, lead, lead?
7
And I could play the background, background
8
And you could take the lead
9
[Verse 1:]
10
It's evident you run the show, so let me back down
11
You take the leading role, and I'll play the background
12
I know I miss my cues, know I forget my lines
13
I'm sticking to your script, and I'm reading all your signs
14
I don't need my name in lights, I don't need a starring role
15
Why gain the whole wide world, If I'm just going lose my soul
16
And my ways ain't purified, don't live according to Your Word
17
I can't endure this life without Your wisdom being heard
18
So word to every dance, a foe, a pop star
19
'Cause we all play the background, but mine's a rockstar
20
Yeah, so if you need me I'll be stage right
21
Praying the whole world will start embracing stage fright
22
So let me fall back, stop giving my suggestions
23
'Cause when I follow my obsessions, I end up confessing
24
That I'm not that impressive, matter of fact
25
I'm who I are, a trail of stardust leading to the superstar
26
[Chorus:]
27
I could play the background
28
I could play the background
29
Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
30
So won't You take the lead, lead, lead?
31
So won't You take the lead, lead, lead?
32
And I could play the background, background
33
And you could take the lead
34
[Verse 2:]
35
I had a dream that I was captain of my soul
36
I was master of my fate, lost control. And then I sank
37
So I don't want to take the lead, 'cause I'm prone to make mistakes
38
All the folks who follow me, going end up in the wrong place
39
So let me just shadow you, let me trace your lines
40
Matter of fact, just take my pen, here, you create my rhymes
41
'Cause if I do this by myself, I'm scared that I'll succeed
42
And no longer trust in you, 'cause I only trust in me
43
And see, that's how you end up headed to destruction
44
Paving a road to nowhere, pour your life out for nothing
45
You pulled my card, I'm bluffing, You know what's in my hand
46
Me, I'm just going to trust you, You cause the dice to land
47
I'm in control of nothing, follow you at any cost
48
Some call it sovereign will, all I know is you the boss
49
Man, I'm so at ease, I'm so content
50
I'll play the background, like it's an instrument
51
[Chorus:]
52
I could play the background
53
I could play the background
54
Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
55
So won't You take the lead, lead, lead?
56
So won't You take the lead, lead, lead?
57
And I could play the background, background
58
And you could take the lead
59
[Bridge:]
60
I know I'm safest when I'm in Your will, and trust Your Word
61
I know I'm dangerous when I trust myself, my vision blurred
62
And I ain't got no time to play life's foolish games
63
Got plenty aims, but do they really Glorify Your name
64
And it's a shame, the way I want to do these things for You
65
Don't even cling to you, take time to sit and gleam from You
66
Seems You were patient in my ignorance
67
If ignorance is bliss, it's 'cause she never heard of this
68
[Chorus:]
69
I could play the background
70
I could play the background
71
Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
72
So won't You take the lead, lead, lead?
73
So won't You take the lead, lead, lead?
74
And I could play the background, background
75
And you could take the lead
76
[Chorus:]
77
I could play the background
78
I could play the background
79
Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
80
So won't You take the lead, lead, lead?
81
So won't You take the lead, lead, lead?
82
And I could play the background, background
83
And you could take the lead
