  • Sick and tired of being sick and tired
    Had as much of you as I can take
    I'm so done, so over being afraid

    I've gone through the motions
    I've been back and forth
    I know that you're thinking you've heard this before
    I don't know how to say it
    So I'm just gonna say it, yeah

    Fear, you don't own me
    There ain't no room in this story
    And I ain't got time for you
    Telling me what I'm not
    Like you know me well guess what?
    I know who I am
    I know I'm strong
    And I am free
    Got my own identity
    So fear, you will never be welcome here

    Take a minute, let it settle in
    You probably never saw it coming
    Something's gotta give so I give up you, oh
    There's no room for you here
    Yeah, I've had enough
    The "No Vacancy" sign on my heart is lit up
    In case you didn't hear it
    Here it is again,

    Oh, fear, you don't own me
    There ain't no room in this story
    And I ain't got time for you
    Telling me what I'm not
    Like you know me well guess what?
    I know who I am
    I know I'm strong
    And I am free
    Got my own identity
    So fear, you will never be welcome here

    Is there anybody out there just like me?
    Anybody needing fear to leave?
    If you don't know how to say it
    Sing along with me

    Sing fear, you don't own me
    There ain't no room in this story
    And I ain't got time for you
    Telling me what I'm not
    Like you know me well guess what?
    I know who I am
    I know I'm strong, brave
    And I am free
    Got my own identity
    So fear, you will never be welcome here
    Whoa, goodbye, goodbye fear
    Whoa, you will never be welcome here Writer/s: Bart Millard, David Garcia, Francesca Battistelli
