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
