declaration of dependance

now just the other day

i overheard a flower talking to the sky

he said

you know that i would be nothing without you

oh

oh

he said

you give me rain

you give the sun a place to shine

you're everything that my whole existence comes down to

oh

oh

and then the flower started singing a song

before i knew it

i was singing along

and we sang

this is my declaration of dependence

this is my declaration of my need

this is my declaration of dependence

on the one who gave his life to me

now

let me say that i'm the kind of guy who wants to do it all myself

don't want to ask for help

don't like to stop for directions

oh

oh

but in reality

i'm nothing on my own

it's by god's grace alone that i can make this confession

all that i am and all i'm hoping to be

is all and only what he's given to me

so i say

this is my declaration of dependence

this is my declaration of my need

this is my declaration of dependence

on the one who gave his life to me

and i know this is how my life was meant to be

i was made for this dependency

on the one who has created me

so i'll sing my declaration song

for the one i am depending on

and i hope you'll sing along

this is my declaration of dependence

this is my declaration of my need

this is my declaration of dependence

on the one who gave his life to me

yeah

e-yeah

yeah

oh whoa yeah

this is my declaration of dependence

this is my declaration of my need

this is my declaration of dependence

on the one who gave his life to me
