Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Take a breath, don't forget all the words that He said
You were made for this now
I hear His voice, through the noise
Knowing that I've got a choice
Looking out at the crowd
Everyone's got words for my reasons
I can hide or I can keep singing
I know my body's the vessel
I know my voice has the power to change
You tell me I'm too much to handle
You can't make
You can't tell me to
Where is the girl who was running
Singing and laughing
Through all of the rain
You wanna turn me into something
You can't make
You can't tell me to
Stand still
Stand still
Stand still
He's bringing back the years, He's restoring me
He draws me out of fear, says He's holding me
I'm learning who I am with Him next right next to me
Yeah He's a friend to me
Out of the shadows, into the light
You can throw all your stones but they'll miss every time
'Cause I'm walking in purpose
Won't be discouraged
I'm held as His beautiful child
I know my body's the vessel
I know my voice has the power to change
You tell me I'm too much to handle
You can't make
You can't tell me to
Where is the girl who was running
Singing and laughing
Through all of the rain
You wanna turn me into something
You can't make
You can't tell me to
Stand still
Stand still
Stand still
Stand still
Stand still
Stand still
I know my body's the vessel
I know my voice has the power to change
You tell me I'm too much to handle
You can't make
You can't tell me to
I am the girl who was running
Singing and laughing
Through all of the rain
You wanna turn me into something
You can't make
You can't tell me to
Stand still
Stand still
Stand still
