[Verse]
Daddy always said
If I show up, work hard, pray strong
I could do anything
You'd be defined
By the thoughts in your mind
Don't you ever let go of the simple things

[Verse]
And mama 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]
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 is in the palm of his hands
You can tell me I won't but I'm gonna do it anyway (gonna)
Do it anyway, (do it, do it, do it) do it anyway

[Bridge]
Peoplе always wait for the right place, right time
Whеn 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
Know 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 is in the palm of his hands
You can tell me I won't but I'm gonna do it anyway (gonna)
Do it anyway, (do it, do it, do it) do it anyway

[Bridge]
The beauty of the journey is you just never know (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 (I know I can)
Don't tell me I'm not when I know I am (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 (don't say it won't work)
I know my life is in the palm of his hands (all things work together)
You can tell me I won't but I'm gonna do it anyway (yes you tell me, I won't)
Do it anyway, (do it anyway)
Do it anyway, do it
Do it anyway
Do, do it
Do it anyway, (anyway, anyway, anyway)
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Do it anyway
Do it anyway
