[Verse 1]
Let us say what I've done wrong
Let him learn from my mistakes
Let him think more often than I speak
Oh lord, keep a close eye on me
[Verse 2]
Better leave the past behind
Let him welcome each new day
Better look as far as I should see
Oh lord, keep a close eye on me
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm not gonna be around here forever
And no one really knows when their time's up
If everything you give can be made better
Then I'm just asking for some help
Then I know where I come from
Then I leave more than I take
Then I sew some seeds that I hold to reap
Oh lord, keep a close eye on me
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm not gonna be around here forever
And no one really knows when their time's up
If everything you give can be made better
Then I'm just asking for some help
Let us say what I've done wrong
Let him learn from my mistakes
Let him think more often than I speak
Oh lord, keep a close eye on me
Oh lord, keep a close eye on me
Oh lord
