I’ve done a little living
Things I ain’t proud of
And my best intentions
They all turn to dust
I burned some bridges, learned some lessons
Made me who I am today
Somewhere between a sinner and saint

I get lost, I get found
Lose my way, but I turn around
Hit my knees, lift a prayer
Once again
Ask for mercy, ask for grace
Then I do the best I can
And I thank God he loves a broken man

I got a few children
And a wife I love
Their eyes are watching
And I don’t want mess this up
I’ve come so far from the man that I was
Still I’ve got so far to go
Just holding to the one thing that I know

Somehow I’ve seen heaven
Use the mess I’ve made
To bring me from the ashes
And show me I can change
Oh, even I can change
