Scott Miller - How Am I Ever Gonna Be Me Lyrics
How am I ever gonna be meHow am I ever gonna be me, LordHow am I ever gonna be meWhen I'm not who I'm supposed to beA mother's son, a father's boyA brother's friend, a sister's joyAn uncle cool, a cousin trueAnd who knows a father tooA shy recluse who once shot inA patriot, a citizenHow was I born a mysteryHow am I ever gonna be meHow am I ever gonna do rightHow am I ever gonna do right, LordHow am I ever gonna do right and do what's good within your sightSometimes my best is good enoughSometimes I bluff that I am toughI've turned my cheek instead of fightAnd made them wrong when they were rightIf you help those who help themselves how comes the meek don't fare so wellAnd I have prayed with all my mightHow am I ever gonna do rightHow am I ever gonna be savedHow am I ever gonna be saved, LordHow am I ever gonna be saved when I have lived a life depravedI've worshiped money, murdered CainUsed your names sometimes in vainWorked on Sundays, rocked and rolledWant it bad enough I stoleShe came to me what was next doorIt's not like we had met beforeOh tell me what else can I sayHow am I ever gonna be savedHow am I ever gonna find peaceHow am I ever gonna find peace, LordHow am I ever gonna find peaceWill it be on a golden street with big parades and pretty girlsCotton candy colored swirlsWaving fields of Springtime sun that war's been never waged uponMy lover's arms my first releaseHow am I ever gonna find peace
