lyrics

words and music by Stephen Bautista


i've followed you
but mostly when convenient for me
rarely stepping out of my day to day routine
and living a life that's safe and ordinary

i've done my best
to straddle every line that you have drawn
with each foot in the best of both worlds for way too long
and losing track of which side i should be on

chorus
i must abandon
what i'm accustomed to
i must abandon
a worldly point of view
and then step out on
that small narrow limb and follow you
with abandon

afraid to leave
this familiar place that i have come to know
and push out through the boundaries of my comfort zone
and venture down a road i've never traveled

chorus

bridge
you know my fears
and every limitation that i have
but weakness has no power
when i'm completely surrendered
into your hands

chorus
