Searching for love in all the wrong places
Hoping to find your new oasis
You're building your house on sinking sand
When the storms of life come, you will never stand

[Chorus]
Make up your mind to leave it behind - Make up your mind
Make up your mind to leave it behind - Make up your mind

Searching for innocence lost in the past
Midnight tears upon your bed for all you could've had
But street life has taken the very best of you
For the moment of weakness, you pay a lifetime of dues

[repeat chorus]

Only Jesus can rescue you in the night
Oh, but you must be willing to leave this world behind

[repeat chorus]
