Change
I am the one guy that doesn't go to your school but everyone knows
I know every song and the way it goes
I try to stay away from bimbos and hoes
Me and my friends play games such as nose goes (inside joke)
I am skinny medium height
Everything I am about to tell you is right
I have potential in my life
And I will be the differential in this time of strife
I will make and break nations
Change individual denominations
I want to start all of this with you
Because right now you look down and blue
I want to cheer you up
This will make you tough
Your blues have had enough
I know right now life is rough
But I will help you be strong
Everything the world is telling you is wrong
Sex is a widely advertised and marketed hobby
This is wrong
Do not go along
Be strong
Be tough
Drinking on Friday nights never led to anything good
So why should
You drink
Of this let us think
You tend to forget those nights
And sometimes you would ever get into fights
And these nights have brought you what?
Nothing that is what
A good time with these buddies
Usually ends up bad
And deep down I know you are sad
So here is how to become glad
Follow me
And you shall see
That there is one who can see it all
Can pick you up when you fall
Stand you up tall
And never let anything knock you down
He is always around
So take away your frown
And look towards God
Humble in his glory
And he will cast away your every worry
He will awaken new life inside of you
Of this I swear true
So tell my new friend
Are you prepared?
Are you ready?
I will take you to church
I will help you out
No longer shall you scream and shout
No longer dazed and confused
Just look at you
You are feeling better already
So can't you see?
This life within us all
Was here all along
Now sing this song
Sign along
To Grace Amazing (Song commonly played at my church)
As you sing this I see you are changing
I can't help but smile
All the while
You had this potential too
Now you know it is true
(On my myspace also)
