Let Me Be Used

In 1508, the chapel needed paint on the ceiling of its church

The pope asked Michelangelo, but he said no to that line of work

He said, thank you, no, I'm a sculptor, so you'll need another man

And for two years he ran to Florence fearing life's divine plan

And finally, he returned, after the pope's insistence

Thrust into the spotlight, despite his resistance

Michelangelo had his own ideas, but life had another

He laid down his spear, for us to look up and wonder

And you might think that you're different

Michelangelo is just like you

He was pushed, he just surrendered inside

Let me be used

Let me be used

In 1955, Rosa Parks was trifled, refusing to give up her seat

A group got together, elected Martin Luther King

Well, King said yes without thinking, because earlier he told his wife

I'm gonna focus on the church now, cause the church is my life

Unanimously elected, he was faced to give a speech

I became possessed by fear, said Martin Luther King

Well, King had his own ideas, but life had another

He laid down his life, to save all his brothers

And you might think that you're different

But King is just like you

He was pushed, he just surrendered inside

Let me be used

Let me be used

So you might be wondering

What to do next

Just remember

All these men

They were terrified

In 1970, the PC was the choice of the day

Steve Jobs and Wozniak created another way

An investor gave some money, but Woz didn't leave his job

I was afraid to start a company, he said it seemed too hard

But Jobs' friends and family got Woz back on track

And now we FaceTime Mom and Dad, no matter where we're at

Well, Woz had his own ideas, but life had another

Thank God he had help from his sisters and brothers

And you might think that you're different

But Woz is just like you

He was pushed, he just surrendered inside

Let me be used

Let me be used

Let me be used
