It's at last a new day Spacey clothes and featherboas are lying on the floor Wish I could buy a new face So I could walk the streets and no-one'd notice me at all Ain't got no radar, nowhere to crash If I go on like this I sure 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 that 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! Lock 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..)
