DmFeels like I've been holding my breath, 
Ftrying to still my restless heart
CEverything hangs on my next step, 
Gmfinding my nerve, playing my part
DmI found shelter underneath His crown, 
Ffound favor inside His eyes
CRock this boat, and I just might drown, 
Gmhonesty seems to come with a price
DmThere's a time to hold your tongue, 
time to keep your head down
There's a time but it's not Gmnow
Sometimes you gotta Dmgo, BbuninvitFed
Sometimes you gotta Dmspeak when you Bbdon't have the Ffloor
CSometimes you gotta Dmmove, 
when Bbeverybody Felse says you should stay
BbNo way, no, Gmnot today
You gotta Dmask, if Bbyou want an Fanswer
SomeCtimes you gotta Dmstand Bbapart from the Fcrowd

Feels like I've been holding my breath,

trying to still my restless heart

Everything hangs on my next step,

finding my nerve, playing my part

I found shelter underneath His crown,

found favor inside His eyes

Rock this boat, and I just might drown,

honesty seems to come with a price

There's a time to hold your tongue,

time to keep your head down

There's a time but it's not now
