Make my world a better place to be

Remove these chains and set me free

Give my life one reason to begin

Forgive me Lord for I have sinned



Take my hand and lead me as you choose

It seems we ain't got much to lose

Give this place one season without shame

Forgive me Lord I've sinned again



I been down on my luck, as a matter of fact

I've even been chaste

Drifting along, singing a song

For the whole human race

I been caught in the act, as a matter of fact

I'm even well known

Floating on by with a laugh and a sigh

On the road that leads home

I got no more time left to roam, if you love me



Take this world and build it as you please

With a little help from the likes of me

Keep it safe from harm and make it pure

Forgive the rich and save the poor



Like the dust on the wind I've been taken again by my foolish pride

Drifting along, singing a song, that's how I get by

I been caught in the act, as a matter of fact I've even been chased

Floating on by with a laugh and a sigh for the whole human race

I got no more time left to waste, if you love me



Make my world a better place to be

Remove these chains and set me free

Give my face a different point of view

Forgive us Lord if we run to you



If you love me

Make my world a better place to be

Remove these chains and set me free

Give my life one reason to begin

Forgive me Lord for I have sinned

Give my life one reason to begin

Forgive me Lord for I have sinned
