Well nobody's perfect
I struggle everyday
In this fight to change my wicked ways
It ain't easy
Still payin' dues
Sometimes the light
Leaves me shakin' in my boots
It's a hard, heavy load
But I will rise above
Cause I'm not of this world
No I am not who I was
Cause I'm not of this world
As slave to my cravings
Is what I used to be
Played with fire
Didn't mean a thing to me
Then I discovered
My soul is not my own
Glory be the day
When I come home
Cause I am not alone
But I will rise above
Cause I'm not of this world
No I am not who I was
Cause I'm not of this world
I'm hear livin' it
Gonna be dyin' in it
But before I go
I want you to know
When it's my time for leavin'
How sweet it's gonna be
You can come along if you believe
Oh if you believe
That I will rise above (rise above)
Cause I'm not of this world (this world)
I'm not who I was (yeah)
Cause I'm not of this world
No, I'm not of this world
This world
