Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
All around the world
Every boy, every girl's got one shot
Believers, let me hear you shout
Hey, hey
You could find me living in the city of D.C.
Found my freedom in the rhythm of the back beat
Got placed to love inside
That I could not control
Beside me, had a brother saying I could sing like Nat King
But all I wanted was to do the rock thing
To roll through every town
And spread His love around
Just a little while then I found
All around the world, every boy, every girl's
Got one shot to prove what they're all about
I'm gonna sing about my God and it doesn't matter what's hot
Believers, let me hear you shout
We say there's one way
When push comes to shove we're gonna sing of His love
Things change just like the Twitter that you update
Or your Facebook status on your front page
But there's no comment you can leave to change my mind
Maybe you're a student at the college of the Ivy
Or filling up a pop machine with Hi-C
Anywhere you might be you can help the world see
What His love's about
Believers, let me hear you shout
All around the world every boy, every girl's
Got one shot to prove what they're all about
I'm gonna sing about my God and it doesn't matter what's hot
Believers, let me hear you shout
We say there's one way when push comes to shove
We're gonna sing of His love
Are we scared to stand out from the crowd?
Make a difference in our own town?
If we stay silent with our voices now
The rocks will cry out
Believers, let me hear you shout
All around the world every boy, every girl's
Got one shot to prove what they're all about
I'm gonna sing about my God and it doesn't matter what's hot
Believers, let me hear you shout
We say there's one way when push comes to shove
We're gonna sing of His love
All around the world
Every boy and girl
All around the world
Every boy and girl
All around the world
