Verse 1
Some wanna be cool, some wanna be free
Some wanna be themselves, some wanna be like me
Some wanna be the type that don’t look like they’re wannabes
Some don’t wanna be at all, but may that never be said of me

Chorus
Cause I’m a wannabe, and I outta be
And I gotta be all that You wan’o’me
I wannabe more like You because I suck at being me
‘Cause I’m a wannabe, I outta be
I’m the smashed, bashed pieces of pottery
Of a vessel that longs to be remade like Thee
I’m a wannabe

Verse 2
Pray I never die until I pass away
Pray I never lie (pray I don’t get lost) lost in yesterday
Do not pray for peace born of lethargy
Pray I never cease to always tend to be

Chorus
A wannabe, cause I outta be
And I gotta be all that You wan’o’me
I wannabe more like You because I suck at being me
‘Cause I’m a wannabe, I outta be
I’m the smashed, bashed pieces of pottery
Of a vessel that longs to be remade like Thee
I’m a wannabe

Lead break
I’m a, Yes I’m a,
I’m a, yes I’m a, yeah

Chorus
I’m a wannabe, cause I outta be
And I gotta be all that You wan’o’me
I wannabe more like You because I suck at being me
‘Cause I’m a wannabe, I outta be
I’m the smashed, bashed pieces of pottery
Of a vessel that longs to be remade like Thee
I’m a wannabe

I’m a, I’m a, I’m a, I’m a
Like smashed, bashed pieces of pottery
I’m a wannabe, I’m a wannabe,
I’m a wannabe, I’m a wannabe, yeah
