I Refuse

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

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

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

I can hear the least of these
Cryin' out so desperately
And I know we are the hands and feet
Of You, oh, God

So if You say "move"
It's time for me to follow through
And do what I was made to do
And show them who You are

'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

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

'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

I refuse
I refuse, yeah
