Testo Lean Nichole Nordeman

Lean

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
