David Dunn's song 'Yes & No' is a reflective piece about trusting God's wisdom over personal desires. The lyrics depict a person praying earnestly, sometimes begging God to change His mind, but ultimately learning that God's answers—whether yes or no—are for the best. The song emphasizes that God knows the difference between what we want and what we truly need, and His responses are meant to shape us to be more like Christ. It's a humble acknowledgment of human limited perspective and divine sovereignty, encouraging surrender to God's perfect will.

Here I am sitting again on floor in the space of my basement
Under my breath I'm reciting the prayer
I keep on praying
Deja vu, beggin' You
On my knees, yea, it's true
God can't you see in the middle of me in between I am breaking
How can I get you to change your mind?
That's all I'm sayin'
Deja vu, beggin' You
I forget sometimes
You say yes, You-You say no
For my best, God, You'd know
Better than me, better than me
You say yes, You-You say no
For my best, God, You'd know
Better than me, better than me
What I want and what I really need, only You know the difference
Learning you do what's best for me
With every answer given
Deja vu, it's what You do
You're showing me in time
You say yes, You-You say no
For my best, God, You'd know
Better than me, better than me
You say yes, You-You say no
For my best, God, You'd know
Better than me, better than me
Giving me what I really need
To make me more like You
Less like me
Less like me
Giving me what I really need
To make me more like You
Less like me
Less like me
I forget sometimes
You say yes, You-You say no
For my best, God, You'd know
Better than me, better than me
You say yes, You-You say no
For my best, God, You'd know
Better than me, better than me
