We are an obstinate people wanting our own way Willing to do what it takes We see fit to fashion; a life of selfish ambition Wasting away the day Contend to follow the well-worn path Of my fellow pilgrims lost along the way Until we come to our senses Until the scales fall from our eyes Until our hearts fell more than just pounding Our ears will keep hearing the sound when Even the rocks cry out Defying to be silent If I will not praise Him Oh Even the rocks cry out Defying to be silent If I will not praise Him Oh Today as I live, even tomorrow when I'm gone Let it be said of me I opened my mouth, I let phrase pour out I lifted my voice above the crowd From forgiving lips came songs of endless praise Loud and clear they reign Even the rocks cry out I will not be silent I just have to praise Him Oh Even the rocks cry out I will not be silent I just have to praise Him Oh Even the rocks cry out But I will not be silent I just have to praise Him Oh Even the rocks cry out But I will not be silent I just have to praise Him Oh
