When my memory starts to wander

I sit back and I ponder

How the whole world's gone asunder

I feel the rain and I hear the thunder.

I was bare and I was lost

But you were there and now I'm born

You are the force and strength

In my life today.

And oh how I thank you father

For giving us all over and under

You're a mystery, you're a wonder

I always knew since I was younger.

I think about the way that you make it right

So full of love and sacrifice

I say yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah...

But you were right and I was wrong, yeah

'cause I was weak but you were strong,

Ohoh hey hey yeah...

You are the force and strength

In my life today.

And now that the darkness has faded

I'm no longer blinded I can see, yeah...

And I don't have to wait no longer

'cause it's all about being free

Every day every way

I'm gonna get myself together

Every day any way, ohoh...

You are the force and strength

In my life today, yeah...

You are the force and strength

In my life today, yeah...

You are the force, yeah...

And you are the reign,

You are the force and strength

In my life today, yeah...

You are the force and strength

In my life today.

You are the force

And you are the reign

You make me try to do right

And throw away my evil ways

Yeah, yeah yeaaah oh yeah...

Come on one more time,

Take me now, oh oh oh oh...
