Newsboys - Cornelius lyrics

And every generation's got
The fearless few who can't be bought
They don't take polls or look around
They act on truth
And then they stand their ground

Come up and see the world stripped bare
The free indeed they breathe a rarified air
Yeah, they got spirit yeah, they got game
And some get christened
With a righteous sounding name
Na na na na na na na na na cor-ne-li-us

And every generation knows
The doers do, the posers pose
'Cause every time the plop goes fizz
Another yes man gets his

Come on and see the big man's boss
The mind clears out when you're
Taking up the cross yeah, his burden's easy
No, it don't chafe it's God's safe harbour
Why play it safe?

Na na na na na na na na na cor-ne-li-us

Core-strong like a centurion
I wanna be Cornelius
Core-strong like a centurion
I wanna be Cornelius his kneel is real
His kneel is real
What rhymes with Cornelius? Helium

The "cor" is before a kneel, a kneel
The "i" is an "e" in us, in us
He's ready to fight, but not to fuss
We like, we like Cornelius

And history proves the axiom
Surface skimmers choke on scum
Who's calling deep? Who opens wide?
Who put the "just" in "justified"?

Check, check it out -the view you get
It's God's high-wire there isn't any net
Show a little spirit show you got game
Show you know (We know, we know)
You know what's in a name

Na na na na na na na na na cor-ne-li-us

He's ready to fight but not to fuss
We like, we like cornelius

He isn't a wuss he never wass
We like, we like cornelius
