Great Lyrics

I grew up listening to an obscure Christian band from the eighties called Crumbacher. My dad discovered them while he was in the military and our family has been listening to them for over twenty years now.

One particular song saw me through my emo teenage years. I listened to it over and over, and it kept me from giving up on my Christian walk altogether. Here are the lyrics to it.

Tough Act to Follow

Watching my story's plot unwind
Making up endings in my mind
Waiting for the curtain

I see you standing in the wings
Cheering me on through every scene
How can you be so certain?
Oh my Jesus

You'll be a tough act to follow
It's a tough act to follow you
But after all the parts that I've played through
I will follow you

Spotting the mark, I'll take your cue
Knowing my role is subject to
The crowds interpretations

Under the pressure to succeed
Will I inspire them to read
Between these rough translations?

Oh my Jesus

You'll be a tough act to follow
It's a tough act to follow you
But after all the parts that I've played through
I will follow you

Even when the lights go down, it's true
I will follow you
