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
