Being Small

Jimmy Needham, Rob Ghosh

Yeah, yes, oh

[Verse 1]
Why I wanna be a hurricane when I'm barely a breeze?
'Cause I've already seen Your storm bring me down to my knees
Just when we think we may be high enough
You knock us back to the ground
We are trying to move up fast, can't see the contrast
Of how the King came down

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I can't build my towers higher
And live inside Your fire, no no no

[Chorus]
Whenever I climb too high keep my feet on the ground
And when I get full of me turn me upside down
You know pride and not just summer come before the fall
So if it's You that's getting bigger, I don't mind
Being small, being small

[Verse 2]
Maybe if I shout real loud
Maybe then I'll draw a crowd and they'll finally cheer
Or maybe I should tone down, never make a sound now
Anything to draw them near
Or maybe there's more to life than trying to make a name
Even though they say it ain't so
So maybe I should step on down, hand off the king's crown
To the God on the throne

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I can't build my towers higher
And live inside Your fire, no no no

[Chorus]
Whenever I climb too high keep my feet on the ground
And when I get full of me turn me upside down
You know pride and not just summer come before the fall
So if it's You that's getting bigger, I don't mind being small

[Bridge]
These people won't miss me
I will be out of their memories
The ground will forget me for sure
Only One is remembered, one Name to be treasured
It's Yours

[Chorus: Modified]
So now when I climb too high keep my feet on the ground
And if I get full of me turn me upside down
You know pride and not just summer come before the fall
So maybe hopefully I see less of me
And more of you and its true, I'll be finally free
That's what I want after all, yeah

[Chorus]
Whenever I climb too high keep my feet on the ground
And when I get full of me turn me upside down
You know pride and not just summer come before the fall
So if it's You that's getting bigger, I don't mind
Being small, being small
Being small, being small
Being small, oh oh oh, yeah
Being small, oh oh oh oh
Being small
