I was born in Tennessee
Late July humidity
Doctors said I was lucky to be alive
I've Been troubled since the day that I got here
Troubled to the day I disappear
That'll be the day that I finally get it right

THERE IS HOPE, FOR ME YET
BECAUSE GOD WON'T FORGET
ALL THE PLANS HE'S MADE FOR ME
I HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE
HE'S NOT FINISHED WITH ME YET
HE'S NOT FINISHED WITH ME YET

I never really was that good in school
Talked to much, broke the rules
My teachers thought I was a hopeless fool all right
I don't know how but I made it through
It's one of those things you gotta do
I always had a knack for telling the truth

Still wonderin' why I'm here
Still wrestling with my fear
But oh'.He's up to something
And the farther out I go
I've seen enough to know
That I'm not here for nothin'
He's up to somethin'

So here's my time to be a man
Follow my heart as far as I can
No tellin' where I'm ending up tonight
I never slow down or so it seems
But singing my heart is one of my dreams
All I gotta do is hold on tight
