it's at last a new day
sparsy clothes and featherboahs are lying on the floor
wish i could buy a new face
so i can walk the streets and no-one would notice me at all
ain't got no radar, nowhere to crash
if i go on like this i'm sure it 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 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! look me down
it's driving me mad please i'm serious this time
help me help me

i've got the gift to make people less afraid
it's time i use it for something else than gettin laid

love, can be the power to change
when i realize i've turned into something that i hate
love, can be the power to change
when i realize i've turned into something that i ain't

said; love, can be the power to change
(realize now that you gotta change your ways)
