Story behind the song
I was at Promise Keepers in Denver - wrote it during a lunch break.
Lyrics
The Man I Used To Be I’m still rough around some edges And I still hurt sometimes in places But I’m healin’ - and feelin’ stronger I don’t sound the way I used to And I don’t look the way I used to Yea I’m healin’ - and feelin’ stronger I’ve had to deal with my own dyin’ And watch my friends and family cryin’ But I’m ready now to say goodbye un-to The Man I Used To Be I don’t talk the way I used to Now I listen like I’m supposed to There’s a better man - Growin’ up inside me A man who knows where he is goin’ Plantin’ seeds that are worth sowin’ The lord is healin’ - and makin’ stronger And everyday the old man’s dyin Everyday the new man’s risin’ He’s ready now to say goodbye un-to The Man I Used To Be And this song is just to thank God I’m not the man I used to be

Cool intro, cool ending, great production, great lyrics etc. etc. the list goes on. What a great song. Even though it's obviously deeply personal there is something in there we can all relate to. Better hang up...I'm gettin' deep! Well done.
