Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Walking through a winter like a frozen man stuck in an ice age
Feeling like a thaw was a million light years away
You came along, a bird with a sweeter song
That blew the frost all away
Like the first day of spring, come in on a wing
The sky opened up just to say
[PreChorus]
Lead, don't follow, trust your steps, and soon tomorrow
Find your way to laughter through the tears
And years of celebration and moments of sorrow
You got to earn them all, don't borrow
[Chorus]
You got to lead, don't follow
Lead, don't follow
You got to lead, don't follow
[Verse 2]
Always been another way, the blueprint was only made to be broken
And if you start feeling luck calling everyone else's name
That you'll never be chosen
Destiny is intention, build your invention
Create the world you wanna live all around you
There's a nothing holding you back, whatever you may lack
Light the fuse and just let it go
[PreChorus]
Lead, don't follow, trust your steps, and soon tomorrow
Find your way to laughter through the tears
And days of celebration and moments of sorrow
You got to earn them all, don't borrow
[Chorus]
You got to lead, don't follow
Lead, don't follow
You got to lead, don't follow
Lead, don't follow
You got to lead, don't follow
Lead, don't follow
You got to lead, don't follow
Lead, don't follow
[PreChorus]
Lead, don't follow, trust your steps, and soon tomorrow
Find your way to laughter from the tears
Days of celebration and moments of sorrow
You got to earn them all, don't borrow
[Chorus]
You got to lead, don't follow
Lead, don't follow
You got to lead, don't follow
Lead, don't follow
You got to lead, don't follow
Lead, don't follow
You got to lead, don't follow
Lead, don't follow
You got to lead, don't follow
Lead, don't follow
You got to lead, don't follow
Lead, don't follow
Oh, you got to lead, don't follow
Lead, don't follow
You got to lead, don't follow
