[Verse 1]
What goes underneath your armor
Underneath your clothes
Do you know?
Let's find out together
Let's find what we're looking for
We'll explore

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Leave your house of mirrors, hear me out
Fear no consequence, forget your doubts

[Chorus]
I don't know where the road leads
You don't know if I'll break your heart
We don't know how the winds will blow
And we won't know
We won't go unless we start
Ooh, ooh, start

[Verse 2]
Fall into the sea of possibility
And hope
We're letting go
Float away with me
Until we can't see any coast
That we know

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Hold on tight until we become one
Find our island underneath the sun

[Chorus]
I don't know where the road leads
You don't know if I'll break your heart
And we don't know how the winds will blow
And we won't know
We won't go unless we start
Ooh, ooh, ooh, start, yeah

[Bridge]
Our beloved beside us
All you want to give up
Only happens if we let it live

[Chorus]
And I don't know where the road leads
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
You don't know if I'll break your heart
We don't know how the winds will blow
And we won't know
We won't go unless we start
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, start, yeah

[Outro]
Oh unless we start
Ooh, oh, let's start, yeah
Unless we start

John Legend

John Legend was born in 1978 in Ohio. He became an in-demand session musician and songwriter, working with such artists as Alicia Keys, Twista and Janet Jackson. He was soon introduced to up-and-coming hip-hop artist Kanye West, and the two musicians collaborated on one another’s demos.

J. Ivy claims credit for bestowing the “Legend” moniker upon John Stephens (with an assist from Kanye West). Via

Kanye was like, ‘Have you heard of this singer called John Stephens?’ He played me this song from him, that I think will.i.am produced. It was so refreshing and soulful. An hour later, John Stephens comes into the studio. I told him, ‘I heard your music. It’s so amazing. It sounds old school. Man, you sound like one of the legends. You’re a legend. Matter of fact, that’s what I am going to call you from now The Legend. A couple days later, we were in the lounge of the studio (Record Plant) and John Stephens walks in and everyone shouts him out. I was like, ‘John Legend!’ Kanye then said, ‘You’re John Legend from now on. That’s your name!’”
