Verse 1:
This is not the time for giving up
This is not your place where you should be
Not the time or the place to lie in defeat
You got to hold on, you got be strong
Verse 2:
This is not not the time to question your faith
This is not your place of destiny
It's not the time or the place to throw in the towel
You gotta hold on, you you gotta be strong
Bridge:
Sometimes you win
Sometimes you lose
It's apart of life that everyone goes through
Sometimes there's joy
Sometimes there's pain
That's apart of God's plan
It is His own plan
Chorus:
(This is not the time...)
Not the time, not the place
Just believe, keep the faith
Gotta learn how to wait
(This is not the time...)
Not the time, not the place
Just believe, keep the faith
Gotta learn how to wait
