Lead, she said.

Lead, she said.
Lead my follow and I will follow your lead,
Fill my cup and bottle the lid,
Feel my hunger to grow and feed it,
Till my thirst to go anymore is extinguished.

Lead, she said.

She said lead me because she was afraid,
Afraid, she had too much to live for yet too little to die for,
Afraid that she wanted the world but couldn't find her place,
Afraid that she knew too much but spoke so little,
Afraid that you only live once but die within so many times,
Afraid that she knew where she wanted to go but still needed someone to follow,
She said lead me because she was afraid.

She needed someone to lead her.
Someone who wouldn't quit on her,
Someone who wanted to win just as bad as she did,
Someone who knew that winners never quit and quitters never win,
Someone who had everything and nothing to lose.. including the way.
Someone who didn't just talk the talk but walked the walk.
She needed someone to lead her.

Lead, she said.
So hear out a promise, a promise to lead,
for when we stumble we won't fall,
when we struggle I'll heed your call,
The sun won't rise where it sets,
so rest assured, where there's trouble our feet won't step,
In the jungle, our will won't sleep.
Even if the mountains might be steep, we will climb them,
The streams might be deep, we will swim across them.
And whatever comes our way,
Whether night or even day,
We will weigh the options,
grab the once in a lifetime opportunities we meet,
steady our feet, dance to the beat,
follow our dreams, as a team,
and maybe, I'll make her wish come true.
Lead, she said.
