Can't Change

I probably should have been an organ grinding man
Playing songs behind some choir and clapping my hands
Singing praises of His glory to the Son of the Lamb
Instead of running and rolling in a traveling band
But I can't, no I can't change the living that I've already done

I probably should have been a working, laboring man
Painted black by dirt and toil, laying shingles by hand
Or a farmer living honest off the fruits of the land
Instead of roaming and rambling like a wanted man
But I can't, no I can't change the living that I've already done

So Lord have mercy, have mercy on me
Because I'm never going to be the man that I'll never be
I want to bury all my burdens beneath Calvary's tree
Singing, "Glory, Hallelujah, I have been redeemed!"
But I can't, no I can't change the living that I've already done

I should have been a soldier, shaved and sent off the war
With a pre-programed objective, dropped in rank on the shore
To be battered, shot and broken by the barrel and sword
Instead of screaming 'till I bleed over these out of tune chords
But I can't, no I can't change the living that I've already done
