When I was a kid, I was sure
I could run across the ocean
And I was gonna be an astronaut
When it was You, and it was me
I had everything I needed
Faith could even move a mountain top
And then I grew up
And then I got older
Then my life got tough
And we grew apart
Oooh, I wanna go back
To "Jesus loves me, this I know"
"For the Bible tells me
"For the Bible tells me so"
I wanna go back
To "This little light
"Gonna let it shine"
"Gonna let it shine"
I wanna go back
When I was a kid, I didn't care
To keep up with the Joneses
I was just happy that they lived next door
It was You, there was me
I had everything I needed
Your hands were big enough to hold the world
And then I grew up
And then I got older
Then my life got tough
And we grew apart
I wanna go back to
To "Jesus loves me, this I know"
"For the Bible tells me
"For the Bible tells me so¨
I wanna go back
To "This little light"
"Gonna let it shine"
"Gonna let it shine"
I wanna go back
Back to
"Yes, Jesus loves me"
"Oh, yes, Jesus loves me"
"Yes, Jesus loves me"
I wanna go back
I wanna go back
To "Jesus loves me, this I know"
"For the Bible tells me
"For the Bible tells me so"
I wanna go back
To "This little light"
"Gonna let it shine"
"Gonna let it shine"
I wanna go
I wanna go back
To "Jesus loves me, this I know"
"For the Bible tells me
"For the Bible tells me so"
I wanna go back
To "This little light"
"Gonna let it shine"
"Gonna let it shine"
I wanna go back
I wanna go back
