Why can't I be the one you want?
Why can't I change my evil ways?
I swear I'll change but then I don't
Lord close my eyes and make these thoughts go away so I can be

Free
So I can be

Why can't I say the things you want?
Be everything that you want me to be
Why can't I just stand tall?
Shut my mouth and follow along so I can be free

So I can be

I've been out there wondering all along and I never have known
No I never have known

Why can't I be the one you want?
Why can't I change my evil ways?
I swear I'll change but then I don't
Lord close my eyes and make these thoughts go away so I can be

Free
So I can be Free

I've been out there wondering all alone and I wanna come home
But I don't know where home is somewhere

Between your loving and kiss there is
There is
There is bliss
That I missed

Why can't I be the one you want?
