Lyrics
The camera cuts across the scene
The camera shifts across the scene.
I'm there for an instant, distant and blurry
I briefly appear, distant and unclear.
With no name or defining features
I lack a name or distinctive features.
Forgettable, I'm just a passing vapor
Easily forgotten, I'm like a fleeting mist.
I've no right to advance this plot
I lack the right to drive the story forward.
My name shouldn't appear in the credits
My name shouldn't be credited; I'm insignificant.
But the Screenwriter has given me stock
The Screenwriter has given me a predefined role.
He knows my character and my purpose
The Screenwriter understands my character and purpose.
I am not the supporting actor
I am not the supporting actor; I lack the strength for that role.
I'm too weak to play that part
I am too feeble to play a supporting role.
And I am not the hero
I am not the hero of the story.
But the one after the Hero's heart
Instead, I pursue what comes after the Hero's journey.
I'm after your heart God
I seek your heart, God.
I'm after your heart
Reiterating the pursuit of God's heart.
So, what if I'm not the hero?
What if I'm not the hero; questioning one's role.
What if all of my pride has distorted the story of my life
Contemplating if pride has distorted the personal narrative.
What if I'm just a background part
Considering the possibility of being a background character.
With a strong but subtle story arc
Having a strong but subtle story arc despite being unnoticed.
Unknown but to the one who knows my role
Known only to those who understand my true purpose.
What if I'm not the hero
Questioning one's identity as the hero.
What if I'm not the hero
Repeating the uncertainty of being the hero.
What if I'm not even named
Considering the possibility of not having a name at all.
What if I'm just an extra with a hopeless desire for fame
Entertaining the idea of being an extra with unattainable fame.
What if I'm a siren distracting other roles
Potentially serving as a distraction to other important roles.
I am not a shepherd
Asserting that the persona is not a shepherd but a thief.
I am a thief
Claiming the role of a thief.
I am a wolf
Identifying as a wolf, possibly suggesting a predatory nature.
