Chorus:
I'm headed in a new direction,
I've been that way, I'm going the other way.

I'm headed in a new direction,
I don't want to go the same old way.

Verse 1:
Lord, I want to have a closer walk with Thee,
so that I can live, live eternally.
Life without You Lord, nothing seems to change,
but life in You, eternally I will gain.

Chorus

Verse 2:
What shall we say then when man continues on
living the life he chooses to live when he knows that it is wrong.
How can he be change and make a brand new start,
by confessing with his mouth and believing in his heart.

Chorus

Rap:
I'm down and prayin' that You never let me back in the ways
when I was nickel-baggin', pistol packin' back in the days.
But I know You watchin' and that You're with me every place that I be at,
by going and giving me nineteen years of life,
I'm givin' it back, see I've done found my way.

Vamp 1:
Don't wanna go,
don't wanna go the same way,
I've been that way.

Vamp 2:
Been there, done that,
don't wanna go,
don't wanna go the same old way.

Vamp 3:
Heard that, seen that,
don't wanna go,
don't wanna go the same old way.

Vamp 4:
Been there, done that,
heard that, seen that,
don't wanna go the same old way.

Vamp 5:
Don't wanna go the same old way.
