Verse 1
Goat saw gumballs in a shiny case,
Pressed his nose right to the glass face.
He shook the machine and gave it a shout,
“Come on, little gumball! Time to pop out!”
Chorus
But gumballs can wait, yes sir-ee,
You gotta have self-control, like me!
God says “Stop!” when we want “Go!”
Take a breath and let it slow.
Verse 2
Goat got stuck—his hooves went in,
He wiggled and kicked and gave a big grin.
But then he thought, “Is this the way?”
“Maybe I should stop and pray.”
Chorus
'Cause gumballs can wait, yes sir-ee,
You gotta have self-control, like me!
God says “Stop!” when we want “Go!”
Take a breath and let it slow.
Verse 3
Along came Bunny with a snack to spare,
She said, “You’ll get out with a little prayer!”
So Goat sat still, gave one small sigh,
And pop! He came out—no need to cry!
Final Chorus
Gumballs can wait, yes sir-ee,
Self-control sets your heart free!
God will help you when you pray,
Even when it’s a gumball day!
