i came up out of the water
raised my hands up to the father
gave it all to him that day

felt a new wind kiss my face

walked away eyes wide open

could finally see where i was going
it didn't matter where i'd been
i'm not the same man i was then


i got off track i made mistakes
backslid my way to that place

where souls get lost, lines get crossed
and the pain wont go away
i hit my knees now here i stand

there i was now here i am
here i am, changed


i got a lot of 'hey im sorry's'
for things i've done
man that was not me

i wish that i could take it all back
i just want to tell 'em that
tell 'em that


i got off track i made mistakes
backslid my way back to that place

where souls get lost, lines get crossed
and the pain wont go away
i hit my knees now here i stand

there i was now here i am
here i am


i'm changed for the better
for smiles thats bitter
i'm even starting to forgive myself

yes i am

i hit my knees now here i stand

there i was now here i am
here i am, here i am
i'm changed


i'm changed for the better
thank god i changed
