It's like you got to walk like him Got to talk like her Got to be like them Everybody knows you follow the crowd Or get singled out But God says who you are Not the world or movie stars Don't you know He holds the answers in His hands?
We're stuck in a system Is there anybody different? Is anybody listening? Is anybody listening?
Everyone has their own sound Let it out now, let it out now There's nothing wrong with living loud Let it out now, let it out now
I'm drawing the line between Being them or being me I'm not ashamed To call myself one of Yours, Lord But it's a narrow path I've got to break from the pack No turning back No turning back
Yes, God's looking for a people With a passion in their hearts We're God's children We need to shine bright We need to shine bright
Everyone has their own sound Don't you know all God's children have their sound?
Song Description: "This song is really interesting how it ties directly into the concept of Opposite Way. We were spending the night in Nashville at Michael W. Smith's house and I came up with the melody and first few lines while hanging out in the basement. I didn't finish it that night, but wound up writing the rest on a flight to Nashville, just prior to going into the studio to record Opposite Way. I prayed for the Lord to give me some lyrics and it was really cool to look out over the clouds and get a different point of view on how small the world really is compared to being up so high. So basically the basis of the song is to not worry if you look different or even like a fool for following Jesus, because it shouldn't matter what the world says compared to all of God's amazing qualities. It's one of the tunes that ties in with our goal of radically changing this generation for God." - Leeland Mooring (Leeland)
