When I look deep inside, the things I see are so ugly.
So full of greed and pride, vanity and bitter envy.
I must overcome these evils within me.
Jesus is the One who can set me free.

The devil's at the door. He wants to come inside and condemn me.
There is a constant war that I must fight to gain the victory.
There is only one thing that I need to do to survive.
That is to make my life conform to the truth and destroy the lies.

CHORUS
I want to change; become better than before.
I want to change and each day I want to grow a little more.
I want to change.

Day after day goes by and I'm still the same as I was the day before.
And then I wonder why I'm in so much pain that I just can't ignore.
The answer is so clear, it's ringing in my head constantly.
If I don't act now I fear soon I will be dead spiritually.

(CHORUS)

BRIDGE
And I don't want to stay the way I am.
I know I've got to try; if I don't I'm gonna die.
No, I don't want to stay the way I am.
I know I've got to try, if I want to stay alive.
