Say I Won’t Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Today, it all begins
I'm seeing my life for the very first time through a different lens
Yesterday, I didn't understand
Driving thirty-five with a rocket inside, didn't know what I had

[Pre-Chorus]
While I've been waiting to live, my life's been waiting on me

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Not enough is what I've been told
But it must be a lie 'cause the Spirit inside says I'm so much more

[Pre-Chorus]
So let them say what they want, oh, I dare them to try

[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
Say I won't, say I won't
Say I won't

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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, woah, 'cause I'm gonna shout
I will be dancing when circumstances drown the music out
Say I won't

[Post-Chorus]
Say I won't, say that I won't
Oh, say I won't, say I won't

[Outro]
Oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Even though the song is dedicated to the band’s longtime friend Gary Miracle, who lost his arms and legs in January 2020 to septic shock, the video also features the likes of TobyMac (music artist), Scott Hamilton (Olympic figure skater), Hugh Freeze (college football coach), Pat Riley (Miami Heat president) and Ben Roethlisberger (NFL player), each with their own life struggles and hopes to overcome them respectively.

The band is reportedly working on a video featuring many of the other people featured in the music video.
