Description
The words sound like a cheerful reminder for those who are on the brink and ready to let go: don't listen to the quiet voices inside you that only have “give up” in their repertoire. Here, the music encourages you to stand up straight and sing as if victory is already in the bag.
It is a hymn to stubborn hope - walls are not torn down by blows, but by the power of a voice that chooses gratitude over despair. Every line seems to say: as long as there is breath, there is a chance.
And there is a simple truth in this: sometimes the most powerful protest against darkness is a song sung at the top of your lungs, with the belief that the light is already on its way.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Somewhere out there hanging by a thread
All of your strength is gone
Strength to keep holding on
And don't buy those lies that are in your head
That say you should just give up
That you'll never be enough
Remember you're a child of the King
Sing, sing like you've already won
Be grateful for all He has done
As long as there’s air in your lungs, sing
You're so much stronger than you think
The Spirit that brought Christ back to life
Is the same one you have inside
So next time there's a wall standing in your way
Sing along with that new song in your soul
And watch them fall like Jericho
Sing, sing like you've already won
Be grateful for all He has done
As long as there's air in your lungs, sing
Sing, sing like you finally believe
Your name has been changed to redeemed
So with every breath that you breathe, sing
Don't give up, don't give in
Go on and raise your voice
Don't give up, don't give in
Make a joyful noise
Don't give up, don't give in
Go on and raise your voice
Don't give up, don't give in
Make a joyful noise
Sing, sing like you’ve already won
Be grateful for all He has done
As long as there’s air in your lungs
Sing, sing like you finally believe
Your name has been changed to redeemed
So with every breath that you breathe
Sing, sing, sing
Like you already won
Sing like you’ve already won
So with every breath that you breathe
Sing, sing, sing
