Lead by Tejas
In a jaded and often cynical world, ‘Lead’ is a hopeful/melancholic message about leaving behind the histories and legacies we have inherited, in order to carve out a new future.

Lyrics
I've never known another way to be,
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree,
Instead of dreaming I can't get no sleep,
I'm sorry Mary I can't be your sheep
Show me where I've got to lead
Cause I would never know to follow
Show me where I've got to lead
Cause I would never know now
Do I have the legs to stand on my two feet?
Right the wrongs that hold back legacy,
When I'm under pressure do I have the lungs to scream?
Hold my pride and rise to let them see I was never ordinary
Show me where I've got to lead
Cause I would never know to follow
Show me where I've got to lead
Cause I would never know now
Show me where I've got to lead
Cause I would never know to follow
Show me where I've got to lead
Cause I would never know now
Show me where I've got to lead
Cause I would never know to follow
Show me where I've got to lead
Cause I would never know now
I would never know now
No I'll never know now
No I'll
No I'll
Show me where I've got to lead
