Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Who talks to a man that they can't see?
Who finds power in an old book they read?
In a world full of doubt, who still believes?
Who talks to a man that they can't see?
[PreChorus]
Call me crazy, call me a fool
I ain't scared 'cause I know the truth
Ain't gonna run, ain't gonna hide
Ain't gonna change my mind
[Chorus]
When the crowd goes one way, I go the other
When the battle rages, I won't back down
The gates of Hell are gonna shake and tremble
In the name of Jesus, gonna stand my ground
If a rebel's what it takes, a rebel's what I'll be
'Cause the one I follow was a rebel like me
[Chorus]
Rebel, rebel
Rebel, rebel
[Verse 2]
Got a long line of rebels in the family tree
The ones who weren't afraid to make history
David to Goliath, Daniel to the lion, Moses pushing back the sea
Got a long line of rebels in the family tree
[Chorus]
Oh, when the crowd goes one way, I go the other
When the battle rages, I won't back down
The gates of Hell are gonna shake and tremble
In the name of Jesus, gonna stand my ground
If a rebel's what it takes, a rebel's what I'll be
'Cause the one I follow was a rebel like me
[Chorus]
Rebel, rebel
A rebel like me
Rebel, rebel
Rebel, rebel
A rebel like me
Rebel, rebel
[Bridge]
Who takes His own cross up a hill?
Who loves a sinner nobody else will?
Who changed the world when His blood was spilled?
Who takes His own cross up a hill?
[PreChorus]
They called Him crazy, called Him a fool
But He's the way, the life, the truth
Ain't gonna run, ain't gonna hide
Ain't gonna change my mind
[Chorus]
When the crowd goes one way, I go the other
Oh-whoa
When the battle rages, I won't back down
I won't back down
The gates of Hell are gonna shake and tremble
Shake and tremble
In the name of Jesus, gonna stand my ground
Gonna stand, gonna stand my ground
If a rebel's what it takes, a rebel's what I'll be
'Cause the one I follow was a rebel like me
[Outro]
Rebel, rebel
A rebel like me
Rebel, rebel
Rebel, rebel
The one I follow was a rebel like me
