Been down and low as I can go   With nowhere left to turn   On the edge... I lose control... before I crash and burn   Can I turn 'round... slow down?   Hold... on... I've still got livin' to do   So... far gone... till I found someone like you   In your eyes... you showed me reason to live   Take time... the time it takes to forgive      It's my life...   And I've changed for the better...   I've faced the light   It's worth the fight      See a new day   Start a new way   Get it straight... and it all comes together   Made my mind up   While there's still time enough   I'm alright   I've changed for the better      I was like a drowning man... in a wishing well   Pulled me from the darkness... and saved me from myself   Wake up... shake up...   Let go... all I pretended to be   I... know... I've seen the man I could be      It's my life...   And I've changed for the better...   I've faced the light   It's worth the fight      Face a new day   Start a new way   Get it straight and it all comes together   Made my mind up   While there's still time enough      I'm alright   I've changed for the better         I'm wakin' up to find   With a clean and sober mind   The world's a new place... I'm okay   I've changed for the better      I've opened up my eyes   Glad to be alive   It's never too late... and cheat fate   And change for the better         And I've learned there is no hope   Until we are faced with doubt   We can never fall in love... till we learn to leave without      And I learned we can't find peace   Without conflict in our lives   And the healing won't begin      Until we open up our eyes      It's my life...   And I've changed for the better...   I've faced the light   It's worth the fight      See a new day   Start a new way   Get it straight... and it all comes together   Made my mind up   While there's still time enough   I'm alright   I've changed for the better   I'm wakin' up to find   With a clean and sober mind   The world's a new place... I'm okay   I've changed for the better      Change for the better yeah      I've opened up my eyes   Glad to be alive   It's never too late... and cheat fate   And change for the better
