Daddy always said
If I show up, work hard, pray strong
I can do anything
You'll be defined by the thoughts in your mind
Don't you ever let go of the simple things
Momma used to say
Take your time, be kind
Do your best, let God do the rest
And after all these years, my life is the proof
Every word they told me was the truth
Don't tell me I can't
When I know I can
Don't tell me I'm not
When I know I am
Don't tell me I won't
Cause I'm gonna do it anyway
Do it anyway
Don't say it won't work
You don't know the plan
I know my life's in the palm of His hands
You can tell me I won't
But I'm gonna do it anyway
Do it anyway
Do it anyway
People always wait for the right place, right time
When all we really have is the right now
So why would I wait till it all falls in place?
Cause I know it's gonna work out somehow
I know it won't be easy but I'm willing to go
Don't tell me I can't
When I know I can
Don't tell me I'm not
When I know I am
Don't tell me I won't
Cause I'm gonna do it anyway
Do it anyway
Don't say it won't work
You don't know the plan
I know my life's in the palm of His hands
You can tell me I won't
But I'm gonna do it anyway
Do it anyway
Do it anyway
The beauty of the journey is you just never know
How you're gonna get there, but you'll get there for sure
No it won't be easy but I'm willing to go
Don't tell me I can't
When I know I can
Don't tell me I'm not
When I know I am
Don't tell me I won't
Cause I'm gonna do it anyway
Do it anyway
Don't say it won't work
You don't know the plan
I know my life's in the palm of His hands
You can tell me I won't
But I'm gonna do it anyway
Do it anyway
Do it anyway
Do it anyway
Do it anyway
