# THE LEAST [INTRO — low distorted bass, distant industrial pulse, eerie synth] [WHISPERED] Who’s the greatest? Who’s the greatest? Who’s the— [BEAT HIT] **LEAST.** [VERSE 1 — dark, syncopated groove] I built my name I built my throne I counted every eye That followed me home I learned the language Of winning the room If nobody sees me What good am I doing? I want the crown I want the praise I want my name Burned into the stage But underneath The noise in my chest There’s a question I don't wanna confess **What if being first Is making me less?** [PRE-CHORUS — tension building] I keep reaching For the highest place You put a child Right in my face You don't say "Climb higher" You say— [BEAT CUT] **COME DOWN.** [CHORUS — explosive, angular] **I DON'T NEED TO BE GREAT!** I DON'T NEED THE CROWN! I DON'T NEED THE WORLD TO KNOW MY NAME! **I DON'T NEED TO BE GREAT!** IF YOU'RE CALLING ME DOWN THEN I'LL COME DOWN TO WHERE YOU ARE THE LAST! THE LOWEST! THE ONE NOBODY SEES! **IF THAT'S WHERE YOU ARE, JESUS—** **THAT'S WHERE I WANNA BE!** [POST-CHORUS — distorted bass riff] DOWN! DOWN! DOWN! **MAKE ME LOW!** [VERSE 2 — faster, rhythmic vocal] I saw another Doing what we do And my first thought was— "Who invited you?" Not with us Not in our circle So I drew a line Like I owned the kingdom But You said: "Don't stop him." And suddenly I see Maybe Your kingdom Is bigger than me Maybe the mission Was never my brand Maybe the world Doesn't need my command [PRE-CHORUS — rising] I keep reaching For the highest place You put a child Right in my face You don't say "Climb higher" You say— [BEAT CUT] **COME DOWN.** [CHORUS — bigger] **I DON'T NEED TO BE GREAT!** I DON'T NEED THE CROWN! I DON'T NEED THE WORLD TO KNOW MY NAME! **I DON'T NEED TO BE GREAT!** IF YOU'RE CALLING ME DOWN THEN I'LL COME DOWN TO WHERE YOU ARE THE LAST! THE LOWEST! THE ONE NOBODY SEES! **IF THAT'S WHERE YOU ARE, JESUS—** **THAT'S WHERE I WANNA BE!** [BRIDGE — almost completely stripped] [WHISPERED] And then Job... Lost everything. No explanation. No applause. No guarantee tomorrow. He fell down— [PAUSE] And worshiped. [LOW VOCAL] The Lord gave. The Lord took. Blessed be The name of the Lord. [BUILD] So what happens When I lose the thing That made me feel important? What happens When nobody notices? What happens When the crown falls off? [DRUM HIT] **DO I STILL HAVE YOU?** [EVERYTHING CUTS] [WHISPERED] Strip it all away. [LOW] Take the title. Take the spotlight. Take the applause. [BUILDING] Leave me with Christ. [EXPLOSION] **LEAVE ME WITH CHRIST!** [BREAKDOWN — massive half-time] NO CROWN! NO THRONE! NO NAME! NO FAME! LESS OF ME! MORE OF YOU! NO CROWN! NO THRONE! NO NAME! NO FAME! **MAKE ME LOW!** [FINAL CHORUS — chaotic, huge] **I DON'T NEED TO BE GREAT!** I DON'T NEED THE CROWN! I DON'T NEED THE WORLD TO KNOW MY NAME! **I DON'T NEED TO BE GREAT!** IF YOU'RE CALLING ME DOWN THEN I'LL COME DOWN TO WHERE YOU ARE THE LAST! THE LOWEST! THE ONE NOBODY SEES! **IF THAT'S WHERE YOU ARE, JESUS—** **THAT'S WHERE I WANNA BE!** [FINAL TAG — gang vocals] WHO IS GREAT? **THE LEAST!** WHO IS FIRST? **THE LAST!** WHO GETS THE GLORY? **CHRIST!** WHO GETS THE GLORY? **CHRIST!** [INSTRUMENTAL COLLAPSE] [WHISPERED] The Lord gave. The Lord took. Blessed be the name of the Lord. [FINAL LINE] **I don't need to be great.** [Silence.]
