Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tell me when
I remember when I was thirteen
I saw a picture on my TV screen
The reverend Billy Graham
And the people singin' Just As I Am
And it felt like You were talkin' to me
And the whole world seemed to fade away
Until I heard my mother say
Son, are you okay?
Do you wanna pray?
And that became the hour I first believed
[Verse 2]
And next thing you know
(I'm high and flyin')
Well next thing you know
(My heart is in your hands)
The next thing you know
(There's no denyin')
Next thing you know
(I'm a brand new man)
[Verse 3]
Well I wish I could say I always stayed right there
And I did until my freshman year
But the world was pullin' me a long way from thirteen
And You were callin' but I didn't hear
Still I knew there was somthin' more
So one day my knees hit the dorm room floor
I said If You're there and if you really care
Come and talk to me like I was thirteen
[Verse 4]
And next thing you know
(I'm high and flyin')
The next thing you know
(My heart is in your hands)
Oh, next thing you know
(There's no denyin')
Next thing you know
(I'm a brand new man)
[Verse 5]
Everybody say
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
[Verse 6]
I 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
[Verse 7]
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 find your place
[Verse 8]
Next thing you know, yeah
(I'm high and flyin')
Next thing you know
(My heart is in your hands)
Next thing you know
(There's no denyin')
Well, next thing you know
(I'm a brand new man)
Next thing you know, yeah
(I'm high and flyin')
Next thing you know, yeah
(My heart is in your hands)
Next thing you know
(There's no denyin')
Yeah, next thing you know
(I'm a brand new man)
[Verse 9]
Say, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Next thing you know
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
[Verse 10]
I say, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Uno mas
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
