After today i'll get me out of this place
Into the world so i can set a new pace
It seems i'm on my own from here
Got to face so many fears
Won't You lay me in Your hands of grace
I've got a funny feeling
That i'm gonna go away
I'm gonna face my future
Gonna try and make the grade
I've got a ways to go from here
and vision doesn't seems so clear
But, praise God, He's got a plan
Understanding isn't my place
After today I'm gonna come face to face
With a new world who knows I'm feeling this way
I've got a ways to go from here
I'm gonna overcome these fears
But still, i'm gonna need Your hands of grace
I'll be a bigger man for,
A bigger man for today
I'll pray a bigger prayer for
A bigger prayer for today
I'll dream a bigger dream for
A bigger dream for today

Sanctus Real's comment on the song: That's a song that I wrote right around the time I was graduating high school.
Actually, I always think it's after I graduated high school, but I think it's during my Senior year that I wrote
that song. It's just one of the things where I was kinda confused coming out of high school as to whether or
not I was gonna go to college. And y'know, everybody tells you're supposed to go to college after you graduate.
But I knew that I wasn't at the point with the band where I could go full time or I couldn't foresee us being
mature enough in our songwriting and musicianship to make a career out of it yet. But I could just see a
vision for it. And I just knew that God was calling me to do this and I was just going to be able to do it one
of these days. I wrote that song in such confusion, not understand what I should or shouldn't do in life.
And I didn't understand the circumstances that surrounded me. OK, here I am, I feel kinda alone, I feel like
I can't really see the road ahead of me, but I can praise God cause He's got a plan even though I don't understand it.
And you just have to trust that. That's what faith is, y'know? You can't see it, but you believe in it and you
believe that God has it. I always try to challenge students that no matter how you feel, whether it's
at the top of a mountain or the lowest part of the valley, that God has a very very unique play for
everyone's life. And you can't afford to miss it. People miss out on it and they end up ruining
their lives, because they don't believe God has a plan. So I hate to see kids do that. That song will hopefully
inspire students to say, "Man, y'know what? I don't understand but I'm gonna keep pressing through and I'm gonna
go for what I know is right."
