Text:
I wanna soothe my my heart, I wanna ease my mind
I wanna move my shoes and see what I can find
I wanna stand up tall and open up my eyes
I wanna reach out my hand until I touch the skies
I was a poor lost lamb in a deep dark hole
But now I’ve found that light I’m gonna save my soul
I used to drink, I used to smoke
I used to smoke, drink and dance the hoochy-coo
I used to smoke and drink, smoke and drink and dance the hoochy-coo
Oh yeh! And now I’m standin’ on this corner prayin’ for me and you
I-I-I That’s why I’m saved I’m saved
People let me tell you ’bout kingdom come
You know I’m saved I’m saved
Well I can preach until you’re deaf and dumb
I’m in that soul saving army beatin’ on that big bass drum
I used to cuss, I used to fuss
I used to fuss, cuss, worry all night long
I used to cuss and fuss, cuss and fuss,
Cuss and fuss and worry all night long
Well now I’m standin’ on this corner, I know right from wrong
I-I-I That’s why I’m saved I’m saved
People let me tell you ’bout kingdom come
You know I’m saved I’m saved
Well I can preach until you’re deaf and dumb
I’m in that soul saving army beatin’ on that big bass drum
I used to lie, I used to cheat
I used to lie, cheat, step on? people’s feet
I used to lie and cheat, lie and cheat and step on? people’s feet
Well now I’m steppin’ on to glory salvation in my beat
Because I’m saved, I’m saved
People let me tell you ’bout kingdom come
I am saved I’m saved
Well I can preach until you’re deaf and dumb
I’m in that soul savin’ army beatin’ on that big bass drum
I’m in that soul savin’ army beatin’ on that big bass drum
Oh yeh! Because I’m saved, I’m saved
People let me tell you ’bout kingdom come
You know I’m saved I’m saved
Well I can preach until you’re deaf and dumb
I’m saved, I’m saved I’m saved
