The Man I Want to Be

God, I'm down here on my knees

'Cause it's the last place left to fall

Beggin' for another chance

If there's any chance at all

That you might still be listenin'

Lovin' and forgivin' guys like me

I've spent my whole life

Gettin' it all wrong

And I sure could use your help

'Cause from now on

I wanna be a good man

A do like I should man

I wanna be the kinda man

The mirror likes to see

I wanna be a strong man

An admit that I was wrong man

God, I'm askin' you to come change me

Into the man I wanna be

If there's any way for her and me

To make another start

Could you see what you could do

To put some love back in her heart?

'Cause it's gonna take a miracle

After all I've done to really make her see

That I wanna be a stay man

I wanna be a brave man

I wanna be the kinda man

She sees in her dreams

God, I wanna be your man

And I wanna be her man

God, I only hope she still believes

In the man I wanna be

Well, I know this late at night the talk is cheap

But Lord, don't give up on me

I wanna be a givin' man

I wanna really start livin', man

God, I'm asking you to come change me

Into the man I wanna be
