You Can't Compete With Me

Verse 1

I walk through this space with my head held high

I’m keeping my focus on the wide open sky

I won’t guard my progress or hide what I’ve done

I’m not here to block out your place in the sun

I don’t need to stall you to keep my own pace

I want you to stand in your own power and grace.

Verse 2

I used to believe that the path was too narrow

Straight and as sharp as the tip of an arrow

I thought if you rose, it would mean that I’d fall

Just another face in the crowd with my back to the wall

But I’ve learned that the summit is wide and it’s free

And your success will never be a burden to me.

Chorus

You can’t compete with me, I’m not playing that game

I’m not looking back and I’m not seeking fame

I won’t sit and wait or look for a sign

I’m holding the door open while I’m holding my line

I want you to win and I want it to show

Because it’s the only true way we can grow.

You can’t compete with me, I’m not playing that game

Verse 3

I see how you’re facing the things I once feared

My vision is starting to finally clear

You’re trying to lift the burdens you think are fixed

But I'm here to tell you they don't exist

I just want you to stand in your power and pride

With nothing to silence and nothing to hide.

Bridge

You can’t compete with me, I’m not keeping score

I’m taking my place while I’m leaving you yours

We’re opening windows and breaking down doors.

You can’t compete with me, I’m not keeping score

Chorus

You can’t compete with me, I’m not playing that game

I’m not looking back and I’m not seeking fame

I won’t sit and wait or look for a sign

I’m holding the door open while I’m holding my line

I want you to win and I want it to show

Because it’s the only true way we can grow.

You can’t compete with me, I’m not playing that game
