I'm not gonna write
About the way things have been
'Cause lately they haven't been so great
I keep falling down
I keep giving in
I'm scared this is my fate
If this is all that life would be
If this is all there was for me
I would not go on
CHORUS 1
I will not lay down
This won't be my end
I will not lay down
(I will not lay down, no, I will not lay down)
I'm not gonna lie
About feeling fine
And knowing everything's okay
I just gotta believe
That His hope inside
Will lead me to a better place
With every tear that I cry
I cling to the hope that will not die
He won't leave me here
CHORUS 2
I will not lay down
This won't be my end
I will not lay down
(I will not lay down, no, I will not lay down)
I will not lay down
I'll be alright again
I will not lay down
(I will not lay down, no, I will not lay down)
(We shall overcome, we shall overcome)
Stand up now, He'll carry your weight
(We shall overcome, we shall overcome)
You're not alone, He is your strength
