And I Will Follow
Ask me something easier
A smile, a kiss…
Look, I'll give you anything
But don't ask me this.
Don't ask for faith when there's no great supply,
Don't ask for love when I'm just now beginning to feel it
And don't know quite why.
Here come the waves - here comes the ocean -
How to decide?
What's there to risk? Why is the course so unclear?
Practical fact, foolish emotion,
Terrible pride…
What's there to fear?
Take me from here!
And I will follow
Anywhere,
I will follow,
And you will lead me there.
I should resist,
I should refuse you.
Ask me again!
See how I’m strong?
See how I keep my vow?
Maybe I’ll trip –
Maybe I’ll lose you!
What happens then?
What happens now!
Just show me how…
And I will follow
Anywhere,
I will follow,
And you will lead me there.
Oh, all the voices that tell me to stand my ground
Oh, all the voices that beg me to stay
All representing a life that I'd planned around:
Do what's expected,
Do what's accepted,
Do what you're told to,
Until today!
'Til today…
I will follow
Anywhere,
I will follow,
And you will lead me
There…
I will follow
And you will lead me there.
