I, I won't lie, and say that I, I never cry
And I, I'll testify, I'm afraid at times, frayed sometimes

But my tears, my fears, ripped edges, few successes
Don't make less precious
And I won't let my somewhat frequent faults steal me from my higher call

That everyone who hears my voice will see
I'm nothing less than who I profess to be
A work in progress
An up and down process
One who knows he ain't done with me yet
A girl who wants to change the world just by being me

I, I don't try, to pretend that I, do everything right
But I, know the choice is mine, live lightless or shine, run or fall behind

But my good, my bad, my mistakes, angelic ways
Don't altar his taste for me
No, his love is unconditional, to tell the world's my highest call

So everyone who hears my voice will see
I'm nothing less than who I profess to be
A work in progress
An up and down process
One who knows he ain't done with me yet
A girl who wants to change the world just by being me

We are so convinced that we can't so we don't
But god can not use perfect people and he won't
I, for one, will stop making excuses
