it's at last a new day

sparsy clothes and featherboahs are lying on the floor

wish i could buy a new face

so i can walk the streets and no-one would notice me at all

ain't got no radar, nowhere to crash

if i go on like this i'm sure it ain't gonna last



lord, give me the power to change

when i realize i've turned into something that i hate

lord, give me the power to change

when i realize i've turned into something that i ain't



and then you brought me new friends

and you should know i have been so thankful for them all

but they all took me sideways

'cause i never wanted to be anybody's superman at all, no

you see; i'm only human, i make mistakes

i'm not the devil, but i sure ain't no saint.



lord, give me the power to change

when i realize i've turned into something that i hate

lord, give me the power to change

when i realize i've turned into something that i ain't

said, lord give me the power to change

(realize now that you gotta change your ways..)



looooooooord! look me down

it's driving me mad. please. i'm serious this time.

help me. help me.



i've got the gift to make people less afraid

it's time i use it for something else than gettin laid.



love, can be the power to change

when i realize i've turned into something that i hate

love, can be the power to change

when i realize i've turned into something that i ain't



said; love, can be the power to change

(realize now that you gotta change your ways..
