Lean
by Nichole Nordeman

Album: Every Mile Mattered

Verse 1
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

Pre-Chorus 1
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

Chorus
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

Verse 2
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

Pre-Chorus 2
When will I let go
Be still and just know
When will I see, when will I just believe

Chorus
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

Bridge
You ask me to trust
When You say I was enough
You made me lean

Chorus
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
