Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

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

Back slid my way into that place where souls get lost

Lines get crossed

And the pain won't 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, I'm sorry"s

The 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

Back slid my way into that place where souls get lost

Lines get crossed

And the pain won't 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

More smiles, less bitter

I'm even starting to forgive myself


I hit my knees, I'm here I stand

There I was, now here I am

Here I am, here I am, here I am

I'm changed

Yes I am

I'm changed for the better

Thank God I'm changed
