[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I remember when I was a boy
Listening to the teachers talk about God
Painting a picture like a statue in the sky
Seeing creation distant from mankind
[Verse 2]
I heard the sermons from on high
Recoiled from their hell-fire roar
Gave the illusion of a saint far out of reach
Condemning every soul for eternity
[Chorus]
Standing next to God
Feeling ten feet tall
Posing for a photograph to hang upon their wall
Standing next to God
Learning right from wrong
Hoping it would be alright for
Them to tag along with God
[Verse 3]
I sought my own path to Christ
Reached For an answer deep inside
Pondered his greatness underneath a starry sky
Achieved a union they claimed I could not find
[Chorus]
Standing next to God
Feeling ten feet tall
Posing for a photograph to hang upon my wall
Standing next to God
Learning right from wrong
Hoping it would be alright for
Me to tag along with God
[Verse 4]
I saw the moon eclipse the sun
Peace and understanding came to everyone
Felt like a bolt of lightning striking in my heart
Just then I realized, we re not that far apart...I was
[Chorus]
Standing next to God
Feeling ten feet tall
Posing for a photograph to hang upon my wall
Standing next to God
Learning right from wrong
Hoping it would be alright for
Me to tag along with God
With God
Standing, standing, standing next to God
