[Verse 1]
What's a man to do
When every dream he's chased comes true?
All the trophies on a wall
Are gonna lose their shine and fall
What's a stage played on
If we don’t give You every song?
All the cheers and the applause
In the arena, they'll be lost

[Pre-Chorus]
What will they think about the things I did?
What will they say about the life I've lived?
I want them to say:

[Chorus]
He's the one whose faith didn't fade
When everything crashed, he didn't cave
Never lost his awe and wonder
The one that kept me from going under
And he ran a good race
That's what I want, what I want, I want them to say, ay-ay
I want them to say, ay, ay-ay-ay-ay-ay

[Verse 2]
What if they all know my name
But never see beyond my face?
A pointless legacy
There's so much more inside of me
[Pre-Chorus]
What will they think about the things I did?
What will they say about the life I've lived?
I want them to say:

[Chorus]
He's the one whose faith didn't fade
When everything crashed, he didn't cave
Never lost his awe and wonder
The one that kept me from going under
And he ran a good race
That's what I want, what I want, I want them to say, ay-ay
I want them to say, ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay

[Bridge]
He fights for the weak
Has arms that reach out for Jesus
Every word that he speaks
Helps me to believe there's a God that loves us
O Lord, I want You to say:

[Chorus]
He's the one whose faith didn't fade
When everything crashed, he didn't cave
Never lost his awe and wonder
The one that kept them from going under
He's the one whose faith didn't fade
When everything crashed, he didn't cave
Never lost his awe and wonder
The one that kept me from going under, oh
And he ran a good race (A good race)
That's what I want, what I want, I want them to say, ay-ay
I want them to say, ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
[Outro]
Say (Say)
All I want, all I want, I want them to say
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
