lyrics

Verse 1
]If I become famous I'll set an example for social
involvement
]When I have a following that's where I'll lead
When I make my millions I'll give to a charity help out
]some orphans and people with needs
But for now I'll just waste my influence and time.

Chorus 1
Because I don't see the value in my status currently
My freedom of speech has a limited reach
And I'll never touch people out there
Unless I can understand the few friends I have and
the minutes of free time I find are perfectly useful for
healing the world


Bridge
You always were so hard headed
Always Always took a while to get it
Your short-sight, in hindsight, is cross-eyed in
one-sided faith
My spirit is what makes the difference
after you digest the word as written
And realize that all that you need are the tools that
you’ve got

Verse 2
the millions or hundreds of thousands of
minutes I'll have in my pocket
Weigh two times the money when spent with
intent

My single opinion has proved influential in circles
\where God’s love is seen in my life
\and it’s all for His patience in trimming this tree


Chorus 2
Now I see the value in my status currently
My freedom of speech has unlimited reach
To touch all those people out there
It’s crazy I understand the few friends I have and the
minutes of free time I find are perfectly useful for
healing the world

Chorus 3
Though we be collections of broken humanity
Power to speak, love at its peak
A catalyst he has prepared
The crux of the gospel truth
Is whether of not we’ll surrender ourselves to its
use as perfectly useful for healing the world
