I Refuse

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I
I just want to close my eyes
And act like everyone's alright
When I know they're not

[Verse 2]
This world needs God
But it's easier to stand and watch
I could say a prayer and just move on
Like nothing's wrong

[Chorus]
But I refuse
'Cause I don't wanna live like I don't care
I don't wanna say another empty prayer
Oh, I refuse
To sit around and wait for someone else
To do what God has called me to do myself
Oh, I could choose
Not to move
But I refuse

[Verse 4]
I can hear the least of these
Crying out so desperately
And I know we are the hands and feet
Of You, oh God

[Verse 5]
So, if You say move
It's time for me to follow through
And do what I was made to do
Show them who You are

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't wanna live like I don't care
I don't wanna say another empty prayer
Oh, I refuse
To sit around and wait for someone else
To do what God has called me to do myself
Oh, I could choose
Not to move
But I refuse

[Bridge]
To stand and watch the weary and lost cry out for help
I refuse
To turn my back, and try and act like all is well
I refuse
To stay unchanged
To wait another day, to die to myself
I refuse to make one more excuse

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't wanna live like I don't care
I don't wanna say another empty prayer
Oh, I refuse to
Sit around and wait for someone else
To do what God has called me to do myself
Oh, I could choose
Not to move
But I refuse

[Outro]
I refuse
I refuse
