[Chorus]:
GBuild your brother up, Ctear your anger Gdown
throw your fist into the aDir
GTell all your friends that you'll Cstand strong until the Gend
let them all Dknow their Father Gcares
[Instrumental part]:  G   C   G   D-  G   C   G   D  G  
GI've been alone since the Cday I was Gborn
Living my life just for Dmyself
Just Gdrinking and eating, but Cnever Gbelieving
Going to Dchurch just for my Ghealth
One day the man of God stood and he told me
the Father's got a plan for my life
Well this news hit my head, like a punch from uncle Ned
So I went and found me self a wife
[Chorus]
Well I found me self a girl, who was lovely as a pearl
Until she turned out to be a man
Well I puked and I screamed, cause she wasn't as she seemed
Man, I got dealt a rotten hand
[Chorus]
[Instrumental part]:  G   C   G   D-  G   C   G   D  G  
Well the moral of my story was the tale of my pride
It's my own selfishness that lied
For if I follow my own plan, I will falter at the end
My Father's got a plan for my life
So now I follow Him with my back turned from sin
Lead me on my Father Adonai
I will be your man, I will be the one to stand
Thanks for being the guide of my life
[Chorus] 
[Fade Outro]
