Today it all begins
I'm seeing my life for the very first time
Through a different lens
Yesterday
I didn't understand
Driving 35 with the rocket inside
Didn't know what I had
While I've been waiting to live
My life's been waiting on me
I'm gonna run
No I'm gonna fly
I'm gonna know what it means to live
And not just be alive
The world's gonna hear
Cause I'm gonna shout
And I will be dancing when circumstances drown the music out
Say I won't
Not enough
Is what I've been told
But it must be a lie
Cause the Spirit inside says I'm so much more
So let them say what they want
Oh I dare them to try
I'm gonna run
No I'm gonna fly
I'm gonna know what it means to live
And not just be alive
The world's gonna hear
Cause I'm gonna shout
And I will be dancing when circumstances drown the music out
Say I won't
Say I won't
Say I won't
Say I won't
I can do all things
Through Christ who gives me strength
So keep on saying I won't
And I'll keep proving you wrong
I'm gonna run
No I'm gonna fly
I'm gonna know what it means to live
And not just be alive
This world's gonna hear
Cause I'm gonna shout
And I will be dancing when circumstances drown the music out
Say I won't
Say I won't
Say that I won't
Oh say I won't
Say I won't
