Going through the memories of yesterday
I think of all You have been to me
You've always showed me right from wrong
You taught me how to sing my song
If I could be anything I wanna be
When I grow up, I wanna be just like You
I want to learn to love the way You do
I'd like for people to say with a smile
She's surely her Father's child
When I grow up, I wanna be just like You
Father, I know You said
"Blessed are the children"
Surely there's a lot of child in me
And what I'd love to learn to do
Walk in the Spirit and grow in truth
Everything I see in You I'd like to be
When I grow up, I wanna be just like You
I want to learn to love the way You do
I'd like for people to say with a smile
She's surely her Father's child
And when I grow up, I wanna be just like You
When I grow up
When I grow up, I wanna be just like You
When I grow up
When I grow up, I wanna be just like You
When I grow up
When I grow up
When I grow up
When I grow up
