D                           F#m
Sometimes I, I just want to close my eyes
               G
And act like everyone's alright
       D             
When I know they're not
D                                        F#m
This world needs God, but it's easier to stand and watch
                    G
I could say a prayer and just move on
     D              
Like nothing's wrong

Bm  A  G
But I Refuse

D
I don't want to live like I don't care
A
I don't want to say another empty prayer
    G               D
Oh, I refuse to sit around and wait for someone else
A
To do what God has called me to do myself
G              Em7     A
I could choose not to move
      D
But I refuse
 
D                              F#m                           
I can hear the least of these, crying out so desperately
                      G                 D 
And I know we are the hands and feet of You, oh God
D                                       F#m
So if You say move, it's time for me to follow through
               G
And do what I was made to do
       D               A
And show them who You are

D
I don't want to live like I don't care
A
I don't want to say another empty prayer
G               D
Oh, I refuse to sit around and wait for someone else
A
To do what God has called me to do myself
G              Em7      A
I could choose not to move

Bm          A/C#                  D                 G
I refuse to stand and watch the weary and lost cry out for help
Bm          A/C#             D                G
I refuse to turn my back and try and act like all is well
Bm          A/C#                D                   G
I refuse to stay unchanged, to wait another day to die to myself
Em7                     A
I refuse to make one more excuse

D
I don't want to live like I don't care
A
I don't want to say another empty prayer
G               D
Oh, I refuse to sit around and wait for someone else
A
To do what God has called me to do myself
G              Em7     A
I could choose not to move
      D
But I refuse
