I don't want to tell a lie
I don't want to tell you I am never afraid
Of what might go wrong in my life
I worry every single day
I worry it will make me crazy
As if somehow I control my storyline
I try so hard to keep my grip
But I forget you told me
It's not my fight
It's not my battle
It's so much more than I can handle
It's not my place to second-guess you
After all that you've brought me through
So I've got a white flag in my hand
I am ready to let you in
'Cause I want to live the way I'm meant to
Gonna go ahead and let you rule the world
I try to see You working here
But, I don't always see it clearly
Stuck in the moment I'm so focused on my fear
But, looking at my history
I see so easily
That sometimes the pain is what you use to draw me near
So on the days I lose my grip
I won't forget you told me
It's not my fight
It's not my battle
It's so much more than I can handle
It's not my place to second-guess you
After all that you've brought me through
So I've got a white flag in my hand
I am ready to let you in
'Cause I want to live the way I'm meant to
Gonna go ahead and let you rule
And everything I hold onto
The things I've done, the things I'll do
The tomorrows that you'll bring me through (I know)
That hope exists and hope begins
Inside your heart, outside my hands
'Cause surrender is the safest place to move
It's not my fight
It's not my battle
And it was never mine to handle
It's not my place
To second-guess you
After all that we have been through
It's not my fight
It's not my battle
It's so much more than I can handle
It's not my place to second-guess you
After all that you've brought me through
So I've got a white flag in my hand
I am ready to let you in
'Cause I want to live the way I'm meant to
Gonna go ahead and let you rule the world
You rule the world
