In my life, I've done things I'm not proud of
And too often watched my dreams turn to sand
But it looks like I might have turned a corner
You make me want to be a better man
There's no new leafs left for me to turn over
I'm in a prison built by my own hands
I pray at last I've found salvation
You make me want to be a better man
I can't go on living this way
And that's a fact I know you understand
I don't know much, but one thing's for certain
You make me want to be a better man
