Ma, what will I be when I grow up
What do you think I will do
I know I've got such a long ways to go
But they say that kids are like weeds when they grow
And we're what the world's coming to
I could discover a cure for disease
Or be someone who does great noble deeds

Ma, what will I be when I grow up
What do you think I will do
I'm watching you closly to be just like you
And us kids are what the world's coming to
Look, Ma, what will I be
I could bring food and peace to the poor
And help those people not to hurt any more

Ma, what will I be when I grow up
You're teaching me the right things to be
And I can see Jesus living in you
And He's the best one the world could come to
With Him is where I want to be
I could do great things for the world to see
But I need Jesus living in me
