Cornelius Lyrics - Thrive - Newsboys

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 pop 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?

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
