[Verse 1]
Who talks to a man that they can't see?
Who finds power in an old book they read?
In a world full of doubt, who still believes?
Who talks to a man that they can't see?
[Pre-Chorus]
Call me crazy, call me a fool
I ain't scared 'cause I know the truth
Ain't gonna run, ain't gonna hide
Ain't gonna change my mind
[Chorus]
When the crowd goes one way, I go the other
When the battle rages, I won't back down
The gates of hell are gonna shake and tremble
In the name of Jesus, gonna stand my ground
If a rebel's what it takes, a rebel's what I'll be
'Cause thе one I follow was a rebel likе me
[Post-Chorus]
Rebel, rebel
Rebel, rebel
[Verse 2]
Got a long line of rebels in the family tree
The ones who weren't afraid to make history
David to Goliath, Daniel to the lion, Moses pushing back the sea
Got a long line of rebels in the family tree, oh
[Chorus]
When the crowd goes one way, I go the other
When the battle rages, I won't back down
The gates of hell are gonna shake and tremble
In the name of Jesus, gonna stand my ground
If a rebel's what it takes, a rebel's what I'll be
'Cause the one I follow was a rebel like me
[Post-Chorus]
Rebel, rebel
Rebel, rebel (A rebel like me)
Rebel, rebel
Rebel, rebel (A rebel like me)
[Bridge]
Who takes His own cross up a hill
Who loves a sinner nobody else will
Who changed the world when His blood was spilled
Who takes His own cross up a hill
[Pre-Chorus]
They called Him crazy, called Him a fool
But He's the way, the life, the truth
Ain't gonna run, ain't gonna hide
Ain't gonna change my mind
[Chorus]
When the crowd goes one way, I go the other (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
When the battle rages, I won't back down (I won't back down)
The gates of hell are gonna shake and tremble (Are gonna shake and tremble)
In the name of Jesus, gonna stand my ground
(Gonna stand, gonna stand my ground)
If a rebel's what it takes, a rebel's what I'll be
'Cause the one I follow was a rebel like me (Was a rebel like me)
[Post-Chorus]
Rebel, rebel
Rebel, rebel (A rebel like me)
Rebel, rebel
'Cause the one I follow was a rebel like me
