Necessary Exchange

My position of privilege has me feeling comfortable
Never had to worry, never too vulnerable
Now I'm part of the problem, sitting idly by
While fellow souls are dying, while trying to survive

Show me the way, show me the light
Show me what's wrong, help me make it right
Cause I've got answers, but I wanna hear yours
Lead me to new, lead me to truth
My words are many, may they be few
I won't be complacent, not anymore

I believe in Jesus, as do many around
But far too many use His name to tear others down
I'm sorry for what they say, they're wrong, please hear
Jesus loves you all, and He cares

Show me the way, show me the light
Show me what's wrong, help me make it right
Cause I've got answers, but I wanna hear yours
Lead me to new, lead me to truth
My words are many, may they be few
I won't be complacent, not anymore

I admit my faults, just now I told you to hear
When I should be listening, lending my ear
I'm sorry, for following a system so unfair
I'm here with open mind and heart, and more than empty prayers

Show me the way, show me the light
Show me what's wrong, help me make it right
Cause I've got answers, but I wanna hear yours
Lead me to new, lead me to truth
My words are many, may they be few
I won't be complacent, not anymore

Show me where to start, I will follow you
I've lead too much, it's time for something new
I will do my part, learn and support change
Even if I lose some things from necessary exchange

Please, please correct me
When I say or do wrong
I'm unlearning biases I've been taught my whole life long

But that's not your duty, I can handle myself
And be intentional and think before I say "oh well"
Oh well

Show me the way, show me the light
Show me what's wrong, help me make it right
Cause I've got answers, but I wanna hear yours
Lead me to new, lead me to truth
My words are many, may they be few
I won't be complacent, not anymore
No I won't be complacent, not anymore
