Verse 1
I saw you staring out your window
Watchin’ the people passing by
Taking some notes on what you saw out there
So you would know how hard you need to try
I heard you asking lots of questions
How in comparison you stand
Please let me warn you to be very careful
God wants our best and not our “better than.”
Chorus
But you know better, better than that, whoa
Oh, and you know better than, better than that
You should know better
Truth is the only measure
You know better, better than that
Verse 2
Now just in case I’ve got you thinkin’ (you’re thinkin’, oooo)
And if you’re feeling like I do
Maybe it’s time we open up the Holy Bible
And see exactly what He’s called us to
He said the least would be the greatest (wha-oooo)
The greatest is the one who serves
We must be living by a different standard
A life that isn’t graded on a curve
Chorus
But you know better, better than that (wha-ooo)
Oh, and you know better than, better than that
You should know better
Truth is the only measure
You know better, better than that
Whistling
Chorus
Whoa-whoa, you know better, better than that
Oh, and you know better than, better than that
You should know better
Truth is the only measure
You know better, better than that
You know better, better than that, whoa
Oh, and you know better than
Better than, better than that
You should know better
Truth is the only measure
You know better, better, better than that
You should know better
Truth is the only measure
You know better, better than that
Whistling
Outro
You know better than that
You know better
You know better, better than that
You know better
You know better, don’t you
You know better
You know better, better than that
You know better
You know better, don’t you?
