Writing letters from a Roman prison
To the followers that remained
Yeah, Paul was a man on a mission
He had a fire burning in his veins
For the message of the gospel
So they locked him up in chains
Ole Nero was funny that way
But Paul never gave up, he never gave in
And to this very day, I can almost hear him say
When in Rome
Gotta do what you're called to do
You're at home
When in Rome
'Cause you know that the Father will carry you
So don't give up the fight
Look Caesar in the eye
And stand up for what you believe
You're not alone
When in Rome
Well, it's a modern day arena
It's a brave new world they say
But it's the same ole tired temptation
That tries to make you fall or stray
And it'll throw you to the lions
Just to watch you lose your faith
Yeah, this world is funny that way
But if you never give up and never give in
Hold to the power that drives all your fears away
When in Rome
Gotta do what you're called to do
You're at home
When in Rome
'Cause you know that the Father will carry you
So don't give up the fight
Look Caesar in the eye
And stand up for what you believe
You're not alone
When in Rome
They say it's easier
If you just do as the Romans do
But there's a much better place
That the narrow road is leading to
When in Rome, yeah
When in Rome
Gotta do what you're called to do
You're at home
When in Rome
'Cause you know that the Father will carry you
So don't give up the fight
Look Caesar in the eye
And stand up for what you believe
You're not alone
When in Rome
You're not alone
Yeah, yeah
Oh-oh...
I said you're not alone, oh...
