  • I'm tired of being me,
    And I don't like what I see,
    I'm not who I appear to be
    So I start off every day,
    Down on my knees I will pray,
    For a change in any way
    But as the day goes by,
    I live through another lie,
    If it's any wonder why

    Am I ever gonna change
    Will I always stay the same
    If I say one thing,
    Then I do the other
    It's the same old song,
    That goes on forever
    Am I ever gonna change
    I'm the only one to blame
    When I think I'm right,
    I wind up wrong
    It's a futile fight,
    Gone on too long

    Please tell me if it's true,
    Am I too old to start anew,
    Cause that's what I want to do
    But time and time again,
    When I think I can,
    I fall short in the end
    So why do I even try,
    Will it matter when I die,
    Can anyone hear my cry?

    Am I ever gonna change
    Take it day by day
    My will is weak
    And my flesh too strong
    This peace I seek
    Till thy kingdom comes Writer/s: GARY F. CHERONE, NUNO BETTENCOURT
