lyrics

I can carry but I am not strong
I may be right but I might be wrong
I am here but I don’t belong
There’s got to be someone else

I am smart but I am not wise
Oh the horrors I’ve seen with these eyes
These lips have spoken many lies
There’s got to be someone else

Oh Lord I cannot see what you see
Oh Lord why would you pick me

I would start but I am too slow
I think I aged out long ago
Besides I don’t know where to go
There’s got to be someone else

I am brave but I got no nerve
I’d make the grade if I got the curve
I know that you want me to serve
But there’s got to be someone else

Oh Lord I cannot see what you see
Oh Lord why would you pick me

But the flame of the word
Burns within that tree
Oh Lord what do you see in me

I can speak but I am not loud
I would beg but I am too proud
You see, a follower cannot lead this crowd
There’s got to be someone else

Oh Lord I cannot see what you see
Oh Lord what do you see in me
Oh Lord I cannot see what you see
Oh Lord why would you pick me
