[Verse 1] I used to chase what I could see, A bigger life, a better me. I measured worth by what I gained, And called it joy, and called it faith. But years have taught my restless heart, The world can shine and still be dark. What looked like everything back then Means so much less to me today. [Chorus] Thirty years to learn to listen, Thirty years to understand. I was reaching for the whole world, While You were reaching for my hand. Thirty years to know the difference Between wanting more and being free. The older I grow, the less I need— And the more I need You with me. [Verse 2] David waited. Joseph waited. Even Jesus lived those quiet years. Maybe wisdom isn’t hurried, Maybe faith grows deep through years. The world says, “More.” You whisper, “Enough.” The world says, “Take.” You teach me, “Love.” [Bridge] Let the world grow small, Let Your Kingdom grow. Less of what I want, More of what You know. [Final Chorus] Thirty years to learn to listen, Thirty years to finally see: I don’t need to own the whole world— I need You to live in me. And if the trumpet sounds tomorrow, Let it find my heart awake. Not holding tightly to this world— But ready, Lord, For Your sake. [Outro] Thirty years… To learn what matters. Less of the world. More of You.
