They say
Hey I gotta be fly
Gotta win all the time
That's all they care about
Think they're gonna find their joy somehow
But I know I ain't here to do
What anyone expects me to
Not some ordinary girl
Following the patterns of the world, yeah
They say you gotta sound nice
Unrefined won't suffice
But I ain't tryna pretend to
Be the type to fool you
Not gonna waste my time
Reaching for the air to climb
Don't be scared to question
The illusion of perfection
I just want You
No doubt about it
Lord I need You
Why should I care if I get anywhere
If You ain't gonn' be there
(Not gonna waste my time without You here)
I won't get far
Ooh it doesn't matter
If I try too hard
Oh I don't hold the future
(Don't worry 'bout it)
My God He's gonn' take over
(No doubt about it)
Ey
Be strong and courageous
Don't be afraid because of them
For the LORD your God goes with you
He will never leave you
Nor forsake you
Darling we don't really have the time
Oh you gotta be strong or you'll change your mind
I don't have time to think if this'll work
I'm putting my faith in Him before it gets worse, hey
Darling you can't give away your soul
Don't believe that this world can make you whole
If I endure someday they'll realize
Oh I
I won't apologize
For being wise
I won't apologize
Darling we don't really have the time
Oh you gotta be strong or you'll change your mind
