Changed Man

Grew up on a narrow road

Same old words, same heavy load

They Teach you who to trust, who to blame

Fill your heart with quiet Shame

Fear was dressed in Sunday clothes

Truth was something no one knows

But I packed a bag and hit that line

Left that small-town state of mind

Miles rolled by, walls fell down

Different faces, different towns

Now I’m a Changed Man, I finally see

This big world ain’t my enemy

Life ain’t black and white no more

Love walks through every door

Met the Poor with open hands

More grace than the Wealth commands

Traded Fear for an Open mind

Left that old me far behind

(Yeah… far behind)

Shared a meal on broken streets

Barefoot souls with hearts that beat

No gold, no crown, no grand design

Still they gave me bread and time

Laughing loud with next to none

Still more peace than I had won

Made me question what I knew

All those lines just felt untrue

Crossed a line I can’t unsee

Truth ain’t owned by you or me

Now I’m a Changed Man, I finally see

This big world ain’t my enemy

Life ain’t black and white no more

Love walks through every door

Met the Poor with open hands

More grace than the Wealth commands

Traded Fear for an Open mind

Left that old me far behind

(Oh… far behind)

They said heaven had one key

One locked door, one belief

But the man they hung in pain

Never preached that kind of chain

Love your neighbor, that was clear

Not control them through their Fear

Some got rich in Jesus’ name

I just bowed my head in Shame

(Yeah… I see it now)

(Been walking blind somehow)

Now I’m a Changed Man, I finally see

This whole world feels like family

Life’s too short for hate and war

Love’s what we were made here for

Met the Poor, they gave me light

Showed me wrong can turn to right

With an Open mind I stand

A different soul, a Changed Man

(Yeah… a Changed Man)
