When I was a kid
I was sure
I could run across the ocean
And I was gonna be an astronautWhen it was You and it was me
I had everything I needed
Faith could even move a mountain topAnd then I grew up
And then I got older
Then my life got tough
And we grew apartI 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 backWhen I was a kid
I didn't care to keep up with the Joneses
I was just happy that they lived next doorWhen it was You and it was me
I had everything I needed
Your hands were big enough to hold the worldAnd then I grew up
And then I got older
Then my life got tough
And we grew apartI 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 backI wanna go back, back to
Yes, Jesus loves me
