It's at last a new day   Spacey clothes and featherboahs are lying on the floor   Wish I could buy a new face   So I could walk the streets and no-one’d notice me at all   Ain't got no radar, nowhere to crash   If I go on like this I sure 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 that 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! Don’t knock me down   Strike me, anger, hit me, please   I'm serious this time   Hit me. Hit me. Hit me with it      See I've got the gift to make people less afraid   It's time I use it for something else than gettin laid      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)      (Said looord, hey, hey, hey, hey   I said lord, I said lord   I said change, change, change, change, change   See the change, see the change, see the change, change)      (...)
