What I Want Them To Say
What’s a man to do
When every dream he’s chased comes true
All the trophies on a wall
Are gonna lose their shine and fall
What’s a stage played on
If we don’t give you every song
All the cheers and the applause
In the arena they’ll be lost
What will they think about the things I did
What will they say about the life I’ve lived
I want them to say
He’s the one whose faith didn’t fade
When everything crashed, he didn’t cave
He never lost his awe and wonder
The one that kept me from going under
And he ran a good race
That’s what I want, what I want, I want them to say
What if they all know my name
But never see beyond my face
A pointless legacy
There so much more inside of me
He fights for the weak
Has arms that reach out for Jesus
Every word that he speaks
Helps me to believe there’s a God that loves us
Oh Lord, I want you to say
