lyrics

Just got the license,
But not willing to take the wheel
So young and afraid
How could you ever reveal

Who you really are…

Sitting in the driver’s seat
Head is dizzy, chest is thumping
Your hands are pouring sweat
Thoughts like fishes are jumping

Amid the speeding cars…

You’d rather own and coast the car
Than go anywhere far
You try to convince yourself
Do you know what you possess
And how you’ve been blessed?
You’re meant for more than dust on a shelf

You say you’re content to stay
Here in the driveway
Don’t want to stop the flow
They’ll find their own way

Without you to interfere…

You look around to see
Everyone’s driving illegal
They need a new life
Soaring like an eagle

It’s you they need to hear…

But you’d rather own and coast the car
Than go anywhere far
You try to convince yourself
Do you know what you possess
And how you’ve been blessed?
You’re meant for more than dust on a shelf

You’ve been bought with a price
It’s time you let it show
You’re all stuffed up with pride
You just gotta let it go

This car is not your own
This license was meant for the road
Here you go!!

But you’d rather own and coast the car
Than go anywhere far
You try to convince yourself
Do you know what you possess
And how you’ve been blessed?
You’re meant for more than dust on a shelf

Take this wild world by storm
Pedal to the metal, this is why you were born
Greet the birds singin’ in the sky,
Let the world know you’re livin’ your life

Take charge, take the lead,
Sing praise to God, sing it in the streets
Don’t care what the world will think
Your life goes by in a blink
You have so much to give
You’ve been given…

A license to live
