Lean - Nichole Nordeman

Trying and tripping and torn

Reaching for more, but coming up less

Why are my memories of

You as the judge, me as the mess

I want the medal

Don’t want to settle

I want the victory lap, You in the stands

Why is it hard to believe

You just want me

Just as I am

I could stand, I could fall

You want all of me

I could run, I could crawl

You will always be

You’re not impressed, with all of my best

Not disappointed, when I don’t land on my feet

In everything, You are asking me

To lean

When did we learn to perform

To need the encore, to know who we are

When did we forget our place

Is not on a stage but safe in Your arms

When will I let go

Be still and just know

When will I see, when will I just believe

I could stand, I could fall

You want all of me

I could run, I could crawl

You will always be

You’re not impressed, with all of my best

Not disappointed, when I don’t land on my feet

In everything, You are asking me

To lean

You ask me to trust

When You say I was enough

You made me lean

I could stand, I could fall

You want all of me

I could run, I could crawl

You will always be

You’re not impressed, with all of my best

Not disappointed, when I don’t land on my feet

In everything, You are asking me

To lean
