I came up out of the water Raise 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 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 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've changed for the better More smiles, that's better I even started to forgive myself Yes I am I hit my knee, now here I stand There I was, now here I am Here I am (here I am) here I am (here I am) I'm changed Yes I am, I'm changed for the better (Oh, here I am, changed) Thank God I'm changed
