For King & Country's song 'I'm Not Gonna Be Shy' is about overcoming fear and boldly living out one's faith. The lyrics describe a personal struggle with hesitation and distance from God, but a decision to respond to His call and step into freedom. The repeated declaration 'in the name of Love' points to acting courageously because of God's love. The song encourages believers to not be intimidated by the world or fear, but to rise up and go the distance in their commitment.

Something's been missing
Whoa, I
I tried not to listen
Whoa, I
I heard you calling
From across the line
I kept you at a distance
Whoa, I
It's a long way around to the other side
Yeah I feel that pull, yeah I can't deny
It's a long way around to the other side
But I wanna be free wanna give my life
You've been waiting on me long enough
And there's no going back this time
I feel the fire in me rising up
I'm not gonna be shy
When the world is tryna cut me out
And the fear is running through my mind
You won't see me backing down
I'm not gonna be shy
In the name, in the name
In the name of Love
I'm not gonna be shy
I'll be the difference
Whoa, I
I'll go the distance
Whoa, I
It's a long way around to the other side
Yeah I feel that pull, yeah I can't deny
It's a long way around to the other side
But I wanna be free wanna give my life
You've been waiting on me long enough
And there's no going back this time
I feel the fire in me rising up
I'm not gonna be shy
When the world is tryna cut me out
And the fear is running through my mind
You won't see me backing down
I'm not gonna be shy
In the name, in the name
In the name of Love
I'm not gonna be shy
In the name, in the name
In the name of Love
I'm not gonna be shy
In the name, in the name
In the name of Love
You won't see me backing down
In the name, in the name
In the name of Love
I'm not gonna be shy
(Shy)
I'm not gonna be
(Shy)
