Born For This (Esther)

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
There’s a time to hold your tongue
Time to keep your head down
There’s a time but it’s not now

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

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
There’s a time to hold your tongue
Time to keep your head down
There’s a time but it’s not now

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

One step. One move
Born to trust you
Made to lay my
Life before you
