[Verse 1]
Feels like I’ve been holding my breath, trying to still my restless heart
Everything hangs on my next step, finding my nerve, playing my part
I found shelter underneath his crown, found favour inside his eyes
Rock this boat, and I just might drown, honesty seems to come with a price
[Pre-Chorus]
There's a time to hold your tongue
There's a time to keep your head down
There's a time but it’s not now
[Chorus]
Sometimes you gotta go, uninvited
Sometimes you gotta speak when you don’t have the floor
Sometimes you gotta move, when everybody else says you should stay
No way, no, not today
You gotta ask, if you want an answer
Sometimes you gotta stand apart from the crowd
Long before your heart could run the risk
You were born for this
[Verse 2]
I’m leaning on the ones before me
My father's father’s dreams
I’m standing on the top of their shoulders calling the One delivering me
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
One step. One move
Born to trust You
Made to lay my
Life before You
[Chorus]
