I wanna do the right thing
I wanna be the sure shot
I wanna have my mind straight
I wanna have my point got
I wanna be a good man
I wanna have my act down
I wanna be the future and I wanna be right now

Sometimes I feel like I could change the world
But I don't know where to start
I dig and come up empty, clutching an empty heart

I wanna see a life change
I wanna see a new man
I wanna fight the good fight
I wanna take the right stand
I wanna be like Jesus
I wanna pour my heart out
I wanna pick my cross up
I wanna hear the mob shout

I'm wide awake and thinking about the cross, the Trinity apart
I dig and come up empty, clutching an empty heart

I wanna do the right thing
I wanna be the sure shot
I wanna have my mind straight
I wanna have my point got
I wanna be like Jesus
I wanna pour my heart out
I wanna pick my cross up
I wanna hear the mob shout
Sometimes I feel like I can change the world
But I don't know where to start
I dig and come up empty

I'm wide awake and thinking about the cross, the Trinity apart
I dig and come up empty, clutching a sacred heart
