With you, Iโ€™m born again.
Took my cup, filled it up,
now in you, you know I trust.ย 

Letter to My Stranger

Excuse me, but may I steal just a moment
of your time? I would like to explain to you
just whatโ€™s been on my mind.
As I was walking down
the lower yard stairs one day,
was the first time I saw your face
you were going up, I was going down.
As I passed you by, I looked into your eye;
I knew right then and there,
there was something in the air.

Didnโ€™t even know your name,
nor your position in this game,
but one thing I knew I had to pursue.
Donโ€™t mean to offend, just trying to be a
friend the kind that sticks by,
through the thick and thin.

But in my heart, I knew,
I would be longing for you.
So Iโ€™m going to keep it real hereโ€™s the deal:
The first thing you should know,
I am not a Romeo,
just an old-school n*****
that you surely know.

Then there’s that equation,
about the difference in our ages
but that donโ€™t mean we have to go
through those phases.

We can forget about that shit,
and go to all those special places.
So believe me when I say,
Iโ€™ll do anything it takes
just give me that once-in-a-lifetime chance.

P.S.
To be that special man.

Born Again

Come bring me your gladness,
comfort me through all this madness.
Now thereโ€™s you
There is no sadness.
Jesus, donโ€™t you know?
With you, Iโ€™m born again.
Lying close within your arms,
Iโ€™m born again.

Sleeping all over town,
I was lost, now Iโ€™m found.
No more spinning round and round,
with my face to the ground
always falling down and down.

Then your love picked me up,
took my cup, filled it up.
Now in you, you know I trust.
You cleansed my soul, made me whole.
Now my life shines so bright,
loving you with all my might.

Sleeping well all through the night,
waking up to fight that fight,
always longing to do whatโ€™s right.

You gave me your gladness,
you comfort me through all this madness.
Jesus, donโ€™t you know?
With you, Iโ€™m born again.
Took my cup, filled it up,
now in you, you know I trust.
Cleansed my soul, made me whole
now my life shines so bright,
loving you with all my might.

Lying close within your arms,
I am born again. (x3)
