Lyrics:

All around the world
Every boy, every girl's got one shot
Believers let me hear you shout
Hey!
Hey!

You could find me
Living in the city of DC
Found my freedom in the rhythm of the back beat
God placed a love inside that I could not control
Beside me, had a brother saying I could sing like Nat King
But all I wanted was to do the rock thing
To roll through every town and spread His love around
Just a little while then I found

All around the world
Every boy, every girl's got one shot
To prove what they're all about
I'm gonna sing about my God
And it doesn't matter what's hot
Believers let me hear you shout
We say there's one way
When push comes to shove
We're gonna sing of His love

Things change
Just like the Twitter that you update
Or your Facebook status on your front page
But there's no comment you can leave to change my mind
Maybe you're a student at the college of the ivy
Or filling up a pop machine with Hi-C
Anywhere you might be
You can help the world see
What His love's about
Believers let me hear you shout

All around the world
Every boy, every girl's got one shot
To prove what they're all about
I'm gonna sing about my God
And it doesn't matter what's hot
Believers let me hear you shout
We say there's one way
When push comes to shove
We're gonna sing of His love

Are we scared to stand out from the crowd?
Make a difference in our own town?
If we stay silent with our voices now
The rocks will cry out
Believers let me hear you shout

All around the world
Every boy, every girl's got one shot
To prove what they're all about
I'm gonna sing about my God
And it doesn't matter what's hot
Believers let me hear you shout
We say there's one way
When push comes to shove
We're gonna sing of His love

All around the world (all around the world)
Every boy and girl (every boy and girl)
All around the world
Every boy and girl
All around the world

Newsboys is definitely one of the best rock bands in CCM. "Born Again" is more like Taitboys because the music sounds closer to the rock era of DC Talk. Nevertheless, musically it's very good. The lyrics of "One Shot" has similar idea with "God Part III" by Larry Norman. CCM is not a popularity contest, at least it should not be. Tait's voice is amazing and full of energy.

I would love to rate their albums quite soon.
