[Verse]
Past weighs heavy shattered glass echoes
Mirror shows a man I don’t wanna know
Prayers rise up from this broken floor
God mend the cracks help me restore
[Verse 2]
Kids’ laughter fades under guilt I’ve made
Promises I’ve broken like a dull-blade parade
But there’s a spark I see in their eyes
Pulling me back when my spirit cries
[Chorus]
I just wanna be better not the man I was before
Step by step walking through the open door
Love’s my anchor faith’s my guide
Build a future hold ‘em close at my side
[Verse 3]
Quiet mornings with baby hands to hold
Sunlight breaking through walls I thought cold
Lifting them high higher than my fears
Their joy a melody sung through their cheers
[Bridge]
God lay your hand let me hear your plan
Help me fight the battles with love not demand
Forgiveness echoes in this second chance groove
With every heartbeat help me improve
[Chorus]
I just wanna be better not the man I was before
Step by step walking through the open door
Love’s my anchor faith’s my guide
Build a future hold ‘em close at my side
