Big Daddy Weave
Why
Walking down the road this life is on
The narrow path I try to stay
But I must confess I have a tendency to stray
Well, I'd love to call it a mistake
A momentary lapse of faith
But the truth is sometimes I feel that I'm being dragged away

By the other side that people never see
A war is on between the good and bad inside of me

So why do I do all the things that I do
When I want to do what is right?
Change this wicked heart of mine
Let me walk with you in the new life. Yeah

So what will ever put an end
To this recurring bout with sin
It seems I'm always at a loss for a way to win
But, what I really need to do
Is to confront it with the truth
And let your words of life sink in and make my mind brand new

A transformation that happens over time
Is the product of a renewed mind

Why do I do all the things that I do
When I want to do what is right?
Change this wicked heart of mine
Let me walk with you in the new life
Create in me a clean heart
Place your spirit deep inside
Capture every thought
'Til there's no place left to hide

No place to hide from you

So why do I do all the things that I do
When I want to do what is right?
Change this wicked heart of mine
Let me walk with you in the new life

Why do I do all the things that I do
When I want to do what is right?
Change my heart, renew my mind
Let me walk with you in the new life
