Older

[Chorus]
Sometimes I wish I had the hunger
That I felt when I younger
When the faith in my heart was new
I was ready for whatever
Believed that I could weather
Any valley that You led me through
And now I've lived a little longer
My faith’s a little stronger
After all the trouble I've seen
I know even when I'm older
I ain’t never gettin' over
What you did when You died for mе

[Post-Chorus]
La-da-da-da-da-dum
La-da-da-da-da-dum
La-da-da-da-da-dum
La-da-da-da-da-dum

[Verse 2]
When I take a look back
Take a look at who I usеd to be
Honestly, it's hard for me
'Cause I can see, when I started out
Didn't have any doubt or cyncism
I was driven like a man on a mission
But now I got some kids and a wife
I've lived a lot of life
I'm busy day and night
And the fire's not as bright
But it might be hotter than it ever was
Glowin’ like an ember does

[Chorus]
Sometimes I wish I had the hunger
That I felt when I younger
When the faith in my heart was new
I was ready for whatever
Believed that I could weather
Any valley that You led me through
And now I’ve lived a little longer
My faith's a little stronger
After all the trouble I’ve seen
I know even when I'm older
I ain't never gettin' over
What you did when You died for me

[Post-Chorus]
La-da-da-da-da-dum
La-da-da-da-da-dum
La-da-da-da-da-dum
La-da-da-da-da-dum

[Bridge]
If you had asked me a decade or so ago
How I know that my faith is alive and reliable
I would have told you
That what I hold to is so true
And theologically unshakeable whatever I go through
But when we run out of money or somebody dies
We look the darkness in the eyes and we realize
That what doesn’t kill us keeps tryin' a million times
And by the grace of God we survive

[Chorus]
Sometimes I wish I had the hunger
That I felt when I younger
When the faith in my heart was new
I was ready for whatever
Believed that I could weather
Any valley that You led me through
And now I've lived a little longer
My faith's a little stronger
After all the trouble I've seen
I know even when I'm older
I ain't never gettin' over
What you did when You died for me

[Post-Chorus]
La-da-da-da-da-dum
La-da-da-da-da-dum
La-da-da-da-da-dum
La-da-da-da-da-dum
La-da-da-da-da-dum (Oh-oh, I'm never gettin' over what You did for me)
La-da-da-da-da-dum
La-da-da-da-da-dum
La-da-da-da-da-dum

[Outro]
I wanna keep chasin' my imagination
To places that grown-ups would never go
Try to balance a childlike faith
With a wise old soul
