I Will Not Lay Down

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 

CHORUS 2
