[Verse 2:]

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 the folks who follow me, going 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'm just going 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

Man, I'm so at ease, I'm so content

I'll play the background, like it's an instrument

[Chorus:]

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

[Bridge:]

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

Don't even cling to you, take time to sit and gleam from You

Seems You were patient in my ignorance

If ignorance is bliss, it's 'cause she never heard of this

[Chorus:]

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

[Chorus:]

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
