Lead The Way
Lizz Wright Lyrics

In the city made of stone
I am in a city that lacks warmth and human connection. The people here are like the hard, unfeeling buildings that surround me.

I hear the sirens moan
The sound of emergency vehicles reminds me that there is danger and desperation lurking just beneath the surface of this city.

I can't escape the beating question: Where do I belong?
Despite living amongst so many people, I still feel lost and alone. I don't know where I fit in, and it weighs heavily on me.

The boundary lines lie before me
There are clear divisions between different communities and groups in this city, and I'm acutely aware of them.

I cross into the unknown
Despite my fears and uncertainty, I'm willing to take a risk and explore new territories.

I try to leave my fears behind me
I know that fear will only hold me back, so I make a conscious effort to push it aside and move forward.

Try to carry on
Even though I don't have all the answers, I know that I have to keep going and face whatever challenges come my way.

Ev'ry day sing a song of grace
No matter what difficulties I encounter, I will remain grateful for the good things in my life, and I will express my gratitude through song.

We've come this far by grace
I recognize that I have made it this far thanks to the power of grace - both the divine grace of God and the grace of the people who have supported me along the way.

And when you pray to find your place:
For those who are also searching for purpose and belonging, I believe that prayer can be a powerful tool for clarity and guidance.

Love will lead the way!
Ultimately, the way forward is through love. Even when things seem bleak, we can always choose to act with compassion, understanding, and generosity.

In the shadows of the valley
I may find myself in dark, difficult places, but I can still hold out hope for a brighter future.

Tears mingle with rain
There are times when my emotions overwhelm me, and it feels like the world is crying with me.

A shining light will break my darkness
Even in the most hopeless situations, there is always a glimmer of hope that can guide me towards the light.

And mercy will remain
No matter what happens, I will continue to show mercy and compassion towards others, even when it feels like no one else is doing the same.

Bless the seven souls who raised me
I am grateful for the people who have shaped me into the person I am today - my family, my friends, and my mentors.

Back in Georgia state
My roots are in Georgia, and I carry that sense of home and belonging with me wherever I go.

And tell my loved-ones not to worry
Even when I'm far from home and facing challenges, I want my loved ones to know that I'm okay and that I'm doing my best to find my way.

But love will conquer hate
Despite the hate and division that exists in the world, I firmly believe that love will ultimately win out, and that we can all do our part to make that happen.
