Next Thing You Know

Tell me when

I remember when I was thirteen
I saw a picture on my TV 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
Until I heard my mother say:

Son, are you ok?
Do you wanna pray?
And that became the hour I first believed

And next thing you know (I'm high and flying)
Well, next thing you know (my heart is in Your hands)
And next thing you know (there's no denying)
And 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 freshman 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 for
I said, if You're there, and if You really care
Come and talk to me like I was thirteen

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')
Uh, next thing you know (I'm a brand-new man)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

Everybody say
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

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
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?
C'mon find your place

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')
Uh, 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 (ooh, there's no denying)
Yeah, Next thing you know (I'm a brand-new man)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

Sing, 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

I said
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Uno mos
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la
