Lyrics
What am I gonna be when I grow up?

How am I gonna make my mark in history?

And what are they gonna write about me when I'm gone?

These are the questions that shape the way I think about what matters

Well I have no guarantee of my next heartbeat

My world's too big to make a name for myself

And what if no one wants to read about me when I'm gone?

It seems to me that

Right now's the only moment that matters

(Chorus)

You know the number of my days

So come paint Your pictures on the canvas of my head and

Come write Your wisdom on my heart

Teach me the power of a moment

The power of a moment

The power of a moment

In Your kingdom where the least is greatest

The weak are given strength and fools confound the wise

And forever brushed up against a moment's time

leaving impressions and drawing me into what really matters

(Chorus)

I get so distracted by my bigger schemes

Show me the importance of the simple things

Like a word, a seed, a thorn, a nail and a cup of cold water

(Chorus)
