A True Leader

Verse 1

He walks ahead when the trail goes cold

With courage, he looks up to the sky

Not backing down so easily now

He marches bravely through all of the lies

Pre-Chorus

And he prays for the path

Prays for the ones behind

Says "I'll go first if it comes to that"

CHORUS

That's a true leader

Stands in the weather

Oh, a true leader

Holds us together

When the ground gives way, he doesn't run

He'll give his own strength till the work is done

Oh, a true leader

He'll keep going till he sees the sun

POST-CHORUS

Oh-oh oh-oh

He doesn't run

Oh-oh oh-oh

Till the work is done

VERSE 2

He kneels beside us when we can't stand

Lifts a tired shoulder and steadies the load

Says "You're not alone in this dark land

We'll finish this together down the road."

PRE-CHORUS

And he prays for the path

Prays for the ones behind

Says "I'll go first if it comes to that"

CHORUS

That's a true leader

Stands in the weather

Oh, a true leader

Holds us together

When the ground gives way, he doesn't run

He'll give his own strength till the work is done

Oh, a true leader

He'll keep going till he sees the sun

BRIDGE

Gentle when we break

Patient when we fall

Self-controlled in the fire

And mighty through it all

Willing to take the hits

When we can't fight

Willing to risk his life

When fighting for the right

CHORUS

That's a true leader

Stands in the weather

Oh, a true leader

Holds us together

When the ground gives way, he doesn't run

He'll give his own strength till the work is done

Oh, a true leader

He'll keep going till he sees the sun

OUTRO

Oh-oh oh-oh

He doesn't run

Oh-oh oh-oh

Till the work is done

Oh-oh oh-oh

He doesn't run

Oh-oh oh-oh

Till he sees the sun!
