about

This song is my recognition that no leader can be a leader without following someone else. Being the first song of the album, I want you to recognize that I follow someone wiser, stronger, and way more worthy of following. I follow Jesus Christ, who came, died for our sins, was raised after 3 days, ascended to heaven and now sits at the right hand of the Father. This song sets the stage for the rest of the album. Being my first full-length album, I know that, in a sense, I'm put in the spotlight. I want you to see me as I am and I want you to see that I am nothing without the man I follow and I know that, Unless I Follow someone, I will never make a good leader.

lyrics

The spotlights are on
All eyes are on the stage
I don't know how or why
But, I'm on display

The eyes look expectant
But I don't know what to do
I need someone to look to
Someone to help me through

How can I expect to lead others
If I don't know what to do
Those who lift me up, I'll keep letting down
Unless I follow You

The spotlights are on
All eyes are on the stage
I don't know how or why
But, I'm on display

The eyes look expectant
But I don't know what to do
I need someone to look to
Someone to help me through

How can I expect to lead others
If I don't know what to do
Those who lift me up, I'll keep letting down
Unless I follow You

How can I expect to lead others
If I don't know what to do
Those who lift me up, I'll keep letting down
Unless I follow You
