You'd think I'd know by know who's running the show
And what really matters
But I keep picking a fight with letting go
And keep getting hammered
It's a knockdown, dragout
Oh and I am face down for the count
And I'm reminded I'm not the one in control
And I know You know better so
Why don't I go whenever you say come
Follow wherever you lead
So won't you help me
Would you wake me up and make me aware
Of what you are doin'
And from my point of view it's not very clear
Where this is going
But it's Your call, haelp me understand
It's not how I fall but where I land
So I'm reminded I'm not the one in control
And I know you know better so
Why don't I go whenever you say come
Follow wherever you lead
So won't you help me
I know, I know, I know
Whatever you have in store
Whatever I am in for
I want to trust you more and more and more
Oh oh oh oh you know better
Oh oh oh oh you know better
And I know you know better
So why don't I go whenever you say come
Follow wherever you lead
