When I was young
The grown-ups told me
What kind of man I should
Grow up to be
Wealth and riches
They said, were life's goal
And poured my young life
Into their mold
As time went on
I grew restless inside
The game I played left me
Dissatisfied
I tried to break loose
I tried to live free
I finally cried: Lord
Won't you please rescue me?
And then suddenly, I heard
A knocking at my door
I opened up
Now I know what life's for
The king of love came in
And broke every chain
He gave me peace and joy
I'm born again
Now my life
Is turned around
To this world I am no
Longer bound
I am happy now
In my heart, a new song
At last, I found out
Where I belong
Because one day, I heard
A knocking at my door
I opened up
Now I know what life's for
The king of love came in
And broke every chain
He gave me peace and joy
I'm born again
All my old friends
Say I'm not the same
I smile and agree
My whole life has changed
Far behind
Are the sorrows of my past
With this love in my heart
I'm free at last
Because one day, I heard
A knocking at my door
I opened up
Now I know what life's for
The king of love came in
And broke every chain
He gave me peace and joy
I'm born again
The king of love came in
And broke every chain
He gave me peace and joy
I'm born again
