(I wanna be Oh, I wanna be like I wanna be... Just like you...) Ever since I was a young boy I dreamed about What life had in store for me The future seemed so far away And so did all the possibilities Well tomorrow Is now today Uncertainty It seems to cloud my view I need Your help To make my vision 20/20 So I get down on my knees And I lift my voice up to You I wanna be the way That You want me to be I wanna hear You say That You're so proud of me I wanna do the things That You want me to do Oh, Lord, I wanna be just like You Those around They don't understand The reasons why I do the things I do That's okay I've just got to remember That the only that matters now Is You When I start to worry About all the things that they say When the comments seem To cut me like a knife That's when I'm gonna stop And think about all You've done for me I'm gonna close my eyes And remember the cross And thank You for my life I wanna be the way That You want me to be I wanna hear You say That You're so proud of me I wanna do the things That You want me to do Oh, Lord, I wanna be just like You The way I feel I for You Is more than anything Than I have felt before I don't have much That I can give to You So take my life It's Yours I wanna be the way That You want me to be I wanna hear You say That You're so proud of me I wanna do the things That You want me to do Oh, Lord, I wanna be just like You (I wanna be Oh, I wanna be like I wanna be just like You, Lord) (I wanna be Oh, I wanna be like I wanna be... Just like you...) (3x)
