Watching my story's plot unwind, making up endings in my mind and 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 crowd's 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'll be a tough act to follow,
It's a tough act to follow you,
But, even when the lights go down, it's true: I can follow you.

I will follow,
Yes, I will follow you,
Follow you,
I will follow.

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'll be a tough act to follow,
It's a tough act to follow you,
But, even when the lights go down, it's true: I can follow you,
You'll be a tough act to follow,
It's a tough act to follow you, (oh, you know it's true)
But, after all the parts that I've played through, I will follow you,
You'll be a tough act to follow,
It's a tough act to follow you, (I will follow you)
But, even when the lights go down, it's true: I will follow.
