Lyrics

(Am)All my life, I longed to be a he (F)ro;

my (Am)sword raised high, (G)run ning to the bat (F)tle.

I was gon na take (Am)gi ants down,

be a man (F)You would write a bout.

(Am)Deep in my chest is the (G)heart of a war (C)rior,

so why am I still (Am)stand ing here?

(Dm7)Why am I still (Am)hold ing back from (C)You?

I (Dm7)hear You call me (Am)out in to (F)deep er (C)wa ters, but I (Gsus)set tle on the (Am)shal low end.

So why am I still (Am)stand ing here?

I’m so a (Am)fraid what it might cost to fol low (F)You.

I’d walk by (Am)faith if I could (G)get these feet (F)to move.

But I don’t wan na (Am)live that way.

I don’t wan na (F)look back some day

on a (Am)life that nev er stepped a cross (F)the line.

So why am I still (Am)stand ing here?

(Dm7)Why am I still (Am)hold ing back from (C)You?

Start ing giv en me a (Am)faith that can (F)move a (C)moun tain, but (Gsus)I’m still play ing (Am)in the sand,

(Dm7)build ing lit tle (Am)king doms that ’ll (F)nev er (C)stand.

Start ing hear You call me (Am)out in to (F)deep er (C)wa ters, but I (Gsus)set tle on the (Am)shal low end.

I’m so tired of (Am)stand ing here.

What if I gave (Am)ev ’ry (G)thing to (F)You?

say good bye to (Am)stand
