Hey there, my friend  Tell me, how have you been?  I've been away for a little while  But now I'm back again  Well, let me tell you  So much has happened to me  I feel like my world's been turned around  If you look closely, you will see    Got a new attitude  It's one of gratitude  'Cause the Lord has shown  His love to me  Got a new attitude  I tell you, I feel brand new  And my heart is really free, it's true  I got a new attitude    Check it out and you will see  that I'm right  I never knew what love could do  'til Jesus changed my life  I have more joy now than I've   ever known before  If you remember how I was, you won't  be able to ignore    Got a new attitude  It's one of gratitude  'Cause the Lord has shown  His love to me  Got a new attitude  I tell you, I feel brand new  And my heart is really free, it's true  I got a new attitude    Do you remember how I was, cuz?  I bet you do, because it wasn't  all that long ago  That me and you and all the cats   in the 'hood  Were hanging tough and talking rough  And doing stuff we weren't  supposed to do  But now you see that I'm not like that anymore  I've got a different way of thinking  And I'm sure that if you want  to see a totally re-born  Transformed and righteous dude  Yo, I got a new attitude    Got a new attitude  It's one of gratitude  'Cause the Lord has shown  His love to me  Got a new attitude  I tell you, I feel brand new  And my heart is really free, it's true  I got a new attitude
