Not Every Word

Intro

Oh-oh

Yeah

Verse 1

My father saw it all

Dreams that shook the night

He wrote down every vision

Every word of light

He spoke them to his children

Told us what would come

Some things I keep inside me

Some I leave undone

Pre-Chorus

I can't tell the whole story

Every page he filled

But I hold the part he gave me

And I will not let it spill

Chorus

I won't write it all down

I won't write it all down

What he saw in the visions

What he heard in the sound

I won't write it all down

No I won't write it all down

But I'll carry what he told me

Till the trumpet calls around

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Carry it on

Oh-oh

Carry it on

Verse 2

There were mountains in his sleep

Angels in the air

Promises too heavy

For a single page to bear

So I keep the precious pieces

Tucked beneath my hand

Some things stay unspoken

Some I understand

Pre-Chorus

I can't tell the whole story

Every line he traced

But I hold the part he gave me

And I will not let it waste

Chorus

I won't write it all down

I won't write it all down

What he saw in the visions

What he heard in the sound

I won't write it all down

No I won't write it all down

But I'll carry what he told me

Till the trumpet calls around

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Carry it on

Oh-oh

Carry it on

Bridge

Not every dream gets recorded

Not every word gets told

But the ones that really matter

Are the ones I hold

Breakdown

Hold it

Hold it

Hold it high

Chorus

I won't write it all down

I won't write it all down

What he saw in the visions

What he heard in the sound

I won't write it all down

No I won't write it all down

But I'll carry what he told me

Till the trumpet calls around

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Carry it on

Oh-oh

Carry it on

Carry it on
