Well nobodys perfect I struggle everyday In this fight to change my wicked ways It aint easy Still payin dues Sometimes the light Leaves me shakin in my boots Its a hard, heavy load But I will rise above Cause Im not of this world No I am not who I was Cause Im not of this world As slave to my cravings Is what I used to be Played with fire Didnt mean a thing to me Then I discovered My soul is not my own Glory be the day When I come home Cause I am not alone But I will rise above Cause Im not of this world No I am not who I was Cause Im not of this world Im hear livin it Gonna be dyin in it But before I go I want you to know When its my time for leavin How sweet its gonna be You can come along if you believe Oh if you believe That I will rise above (rise above) Cause Im not of this world (this world) Im not who I was (yeah) Cause Im not of this world No, Im not of this world This world
