I've got forty days left with my temptation
There ain't no way I'm gonna back down this time
Cuz' I've still got breath that's left inside of me
Got just enough strength to make it through this trial

I'm not backing down
I'm gonna ride it 'til it does
Gonna hit this wave and break on through it
I'm not letting this thing take control of me
I'm gonna ride this wave

Everyday we go through the same things
That every human being does
When we get washed out
We gotta get back up
And gotta rise again to face the day
I'm born again to bear to the pain
And He's greater than what I could make it
He's everything and He's anything at once
Inside of me today

I'm not backing down
I'm gonna ride it 'til it dies
Gonna hit this wave and break on through it
I'm not letting this thing take control of me
I'm gonna ride this wave and smash into it
I'm not backing down
I'm gonna ride it 'til it dies
Gonna hit this wave and break on through it
And when this ocean roars up against me
I'm gonna ride this wave

I've got a little bit of something that I've got to share with you, my friends
All that you'll ever need is there for you
It's resting in His hand
Trust all you are to Him
He will love and take you in forever, forever, forever

I'm not backing off this time
I'm not backing off this time

I'm standing tall when my body wants to fail me
I've got the strength of my God in my veins
And when this ocean roars up against me
To overcome, there doesn't seem a way
I'm standing tall when they try to corrupt me
And all I think about is how much I hate to do these things
That take me further from truth
The common world I call a wave
