This world that we live in
Some may classify it negative at best
This life you've been given
In the natural puts you to the test, uh-huh
But there's an answer to your problem, ooh-whoa...
But the answer's not in writing on the wall
Colors that you're wearin'
They won't matter when in your mind
You're standin' tall

Renew, renew your mind
Renew, renew your mind
Renew, renew your mind
Hey, hey, hey, yeah
Renew your mind

Heartaches, disappointments, mmm...
In this lifetime, they will surely come, well
Unjust circumstances will always be
But you're the only one who can
Who can change your destination, ooh-whoa...
Winner, failure, what're you gonna be, well
Jesus has the answer
And in His Word, you'll find the road to victory

Renew, renew your mind
Hey, hey, hey, yeah
Renew your mind
Oh-oh, renew, renew your mind
Got to renew, renew your mind
Oh-oh, renew, renew your mind
Yeah, yeah, renew your mind
Renew, renew your mind
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Renew your mind

I'm not playin', listen to what I'm sayin'
The world goes on, it's not delayin'
Get in, get out, or get run over
Don't be lookin' for your four-leaf clover
Colors, cars, designer logos
Think about it, I thought you gotta go
Pretty soon, you're gonna get your fill
So lemme tell you now 'bout the real deal
Your mind controls the destination
A new image in your imagination
Not by muscle, nor by might
By your mind and you're doin' right
Success, yes, your brain brought it
You listened up while the teachers taught it
Beatin' the ball, settin' the pace
Your mind is a terrible thing to waste

Why stay locked in a prison
When the doors are open wide
Who go on killing
The answer's not in fighting
It's in renewing your mind
A mind is a terrible thing to waste
Hey, hey

Renew your mind, whoa-whoa...
Renew your mind, hey, yeah
Renew, renew your mind, whoa-whoa...
Renew your mind

You must renew, renew your mind
Get it together, put your body in line
Homeboy, it's just a matter of time
You got to renew your mind...
