Next Thing You Know

I remember when i was thirteen

I saw a picture on my t.v. screen

The reverend billy graham

And the people singing "just as i am"

And it felt like you were talking to me

And the whole world seemed to fade away

Untill i heard my mom say

"son, are you okay?

Do you wanna pray?"

And that became the hour

I first believed

Next thing you know

I'm high and flyin'

Next thing you know

My heart is in your hands

Next thing you know

There's no denyin'

Next thing you know

I'm a brand new man

Well, i wish i could say i always stayed right there

And i did until my freshmen year

But the world was pulling me a long way from thirteen

And you were calling but i didn't hear

Still i knew there was something more

So, one day my knees hit the dorm room floor

I said, "if you're there, and if you really care,

Come talk to me like i was thirteen."

Next thing you know

I'm high and flyin'

Next thing you know

My heart is in your hands

Next thing you know

There's no denyin'

Next thing you know

I'm a brand new man

Lalalalalalalalalalalalalala

Got a picture in my head today

Of how heaven might look someday

I see the people there

So i pull up a chair

And their stories, they blow me away

'cause i can see it on every face

The evidence of grace

And as i listen it occurs to me

Everybody's got their own thirteen

So, what's your story about his glory?

You gotta find your place in the history of grace

Yeah, what's your story about his glory?

Come on and find your place

Next thing you know

I'm high and flyin'

Next thing you know

My heart is in your hands

Next thing you know

There's no denyin'

Next thing you know

I'm a brand new man
