Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Caught up in Me
Without even knowin
I stumble through the day
And even when I pray
I'm Goin through the motions
I can't keep living like this
I wanna be real
I wanna be true
I wanna mean the things I do
I wanna be brave
I wanna be loud
I need you to show me how
I wanna be I wanna be
I wanna be so much more
I wanna be... I wanna be Yours
Make me unashamed
To wear Jesus' name
Out on my sleeve
Lord I'm yours to break
Strip away the fake
Bring me to my knees
I wanna be real
I wanna be true
I wanna mean the things I do
I wanna be brave
I wanna be loud
I need you to show me how
I Wanna be I Wanna be
I Wanna be so much more
I wanna be... I wanna be Yours
I wanna be your hands and feet
Reaching out to those in need
I wanna be your voice that speaks
Love to all humanity oh
Wanna Be, wanna be, wanna be, wanna be, wanna be
I wanna be real
I wanna be true
I wanna mean the things I do
I wanna be brave
I wanna be loud
I need you to show me how
I Wanna be I Wanna be
I Wanna be so much more
I wanna be... I wanna be Yours

Praying for God to remove all their wrongdoings and false personalities
Bring me to my knees
Humbling oneself before God and asking for His assistance
I wanna be your hands and feet
Wants to be God's servant and help those in need
Reaching out to those in need
Extending a helping hand to those in distress

Wants to speak about God's love and spread positivity
Love to all humanity oh
Their message is love and should be shared with everyone
Wanna Be, wanna be, wanna be, wanna be, wanna be
Reiterating their desire to become closer to God
