When my memory starts to wander  I sit back and I ponder  How the whole world's gone asunder  I feel the rain and I hear the thunder    I was bare and I was lost  But you were there and now I'm born  You are the force and strength  In my life today    And oh how I thank you father  For giving us all over and under  You're a mystery, You're a wonder  I always knew since I was younger    I think about the way that you make it right  So full of love and sacrifice  I say yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah    But you were right and I was wrong, yeah  'Cause I was weak but you were strong,  Ohoh hey hey yeah  You are the force and strength  In my life today    And now that the darkness has faded  I'm no longer blinded I can see, yeah  And I don't have to wait no longer  'Cause it's all about being free  Every day every way  I'm gonna get myself together  Every day any way, ohoh    You are the force and strength  In my life today, yeah  You are the force and strength  In my life today, yeah    You are the force, yeah  And you are the reign,  You are the force and strength  In my life today, yeah    You are the force and strength  In my life today    You are the force  And You are the reign  You make me try to do right  And throw away my evil ways  Yeah, yeah yeaaah oh yeah,  Come on one more time,  Take me now, oh oh oh oh.
