I
THERE WAS A TIME WHEN WORLDLY THINGS ALLURED ME,
TEMPTATIONS CAME AND I KEPT GIVING IN.
BUT NOW MY HEART IS SET ON LIFE ETERNAL
AND I'VE BEEN LIKE THIS SINCE I'VE BEEN BORN AGAIN.
II
I USED TO RUN AROUND, WITH THE WILD CROWD,
GOD ONLY KNOWS THE TROUBLE THAT I'VE BEEN IN.
BUT SINCE I'VE CHANGED, THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND IT
BUT I'VE BEEN LIKE THIS,
SINCE I'VE BEEN BORN AGAIN.
CHORUS
I AM HAPPY THOUGH THE ROAD SOMETIMES GETS ROCKY.
AND I'M NO LONGER BURDEN DOWN WITH SIN
SOMETIMES MY CUP FILLS UP AND I START SHOUTING
AND I'VE BEEN LIKE THIS SINCE I'VE BEEN BORN AGAIN.
