(4x) (last time instead of F play *1 - riff)
Now just the other day, I overheard a flower talking to the sky
x 2
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
x 1
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
x 1
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
x 2
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
x 1
Its 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 Chorus
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
Chorus x 2
