Lyrics
[Intro]
In the quiet of my mind, the shadows softly creep
Dreams wrapped in fraying threads, and I can barely speak
[Verse 1]
I want to write, but I don't have the words,
A restless heart tangled up, in thoughts that go unheard.
I want to speak, but fear coats my tongue,
Holding back the melody that’s bursting to be sung.
[Chorus]
Why must I permit myself from being me?
Why must I hide and why not let all see?
The things I want, why can't they be?
Could it possibly be the doubt within me?
[Verse 2]
I could write, I could speak, I can rise above the storm,
Why should I let their whispers shape me and keep me torn?
I must fight back, break the chain and take the lead,
God made me a leader, it's His strength that I will need.
[Chorus]
Why must I permit myself from being me?
Why must I hide and why not let all see?
The things I want, why can't they be?
Could it possibly be the doubt within me?
[Bridge]
I will take the lead, rise like the dawn,
No more hiding, no regrets, I’ll carry on.
With my heart as my compass, I’ll break every chain,
In the light of the truth, I will stand and remain.
[Chorus]
Why must I permit myself from being me?
Why must I hide and why not let all see?
The things I want, why can't they be?
Could it possibly be the doubt within me?
[Lead]
I will take the lead!
Yes, I will take the lead!
I will make it, yes, I will make it!
I will take the lead, and not hesitate.
[Outro]
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me,
God made me a leader, that is what I’ll be.
I will take the lead!
Yes, I will take the lead! I WILL TAKE, THE LEAD....
