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 --- What I Want Them to Say - Newsboys
