You know
I have a mind of my own.
I promise you it works fine.
You know
I have endless ideas.
I promise you they're all mine.

But when you lead I follow
And when you speak I follow
And where you look I follow
And where you walk I follow.

Even though I never know
Where your path will lead,
My body can't help but follow you
Like my heart can't help but beat.

I don't know why and don't ask me why
I fail to take the lead
Or speak when I want
Or look where I want
Or walk where I want.

I promise you
I have a mind of my own!
You know it works just fine!
I promise you
I have endless ideas!
Please believe that they're all mine.

They're beautiful and creative and honest and unique.
I long to share them, but I don't know how.
I don't know who will teach.

So
I'll just do what I've always done.
I'll follow your lead.
Like I've always done.
Not my favorite, but might as well share.
