Verse 1

Daddy always said
If I show up work hard pray strong
I can do anything
You’ll be defined
By the thoughts in your mind
Don’t you ever let go
Of the simple things
Momma used to say
Take your time be kind
Do your best let God do the rest
And after all these years
My life is the proof
Every word they told me was the truth

Chorus 1

Don’t tell me I can’t
When I know I can
Don’t tell me I’m not
When I know I am
Don’t tell me I won’t
Cause I’m gonna do it anyway
Do it anyway
Don’t say it won’t work
You don’t know the plan
I know my life’s
In the palm of His hands
You can tell me I won’t
But I’m gonna do it anyway
Do it anyway do it anyway

Verse 2

People always wait
For the right place right time
When all we really have
Is the right now
So why would I wait till
It all falls in place
I know it’s gonna work out somehow
I know it won’t be easy
But I’m willing to go

Chorus 2

Don’t tell me I can’t
When I know I can
Don’t tell me I’m not
When I know I am
Don’t tell me I won’t
Cause I’m gonna do it anyway
Do it anyway
Don’t say it won’t work
You don’t know the plan
I know my life’s
In the palm of His hands
You can tell me I won’t
But I’m gonna do it anyway
Do it anyway do it anyway

Bridge

The beauty of the journey
Is you just never know
How you’re gonna get
There but you’ll get there for sure
No it won’t be easy
But I’m willing to go

Chorus

Don’t tell me I can’t
When I know I can
Don’t tell me I’m not
When I know I am
Don’t tell me I won’t
Cause I’m gonna do it anyway
Do it anyway
Don’t say it won’t work
You don’t know the plan
I know my life’s
In the palm of His hands
You can tell me I won’t
But I’m gonna do it anyway
Do it anyway do it anyway
