I was born in Tennessee
late July humidity doctors said I was lucky to be alive
I’ve Been troubled since the day that I got here
troubled to the day I disappear
That’ll be the day that I finally get it right

There is hope, for me yet
because God won’t forget
all the plans he’s made for me
I have to wait and see
he’s not finished with me yet
he’s not finished with me yet

I never really was that good in school
Talked to much, broke the rules
My teachers thought I was a hopeless fool all right.
I don’t know how but I made it through
it’s one of those things you gotta do
I always had a knack for telling the truth.

There is hope, for me yet
because God won’t forget
all the plans he’s made for me
I have to wait and see
he’s not finished with me yet
he’s not finished with me yet

Still wonerin’ why I’m here
Still wrestling with my fear
But oh….He’s up to something,
And the farther out I go
I’ve seen enough to know that I’m not here for nothin’
He’s up to somethin’

So here’s my time to be a man
follow my heart as far as I can
No tellin’ where I’m ending up tonight
I never slow down or so it seems
but singing my heart is one of my dreams
All I gotta do is hold on tight.

There is hope, for me yet
because God won’t forget
all the plans he’s made for me
I have to wait and see
he’s not finished with me yet
he’s not finished with me yet
He’s not finished with me yet
He’s not finished with me yet.
