Good Man Lyrics
I want to be a good man,I want to see God
I want to be faithful but I know that I'm not
I want to be a good man,I want to do right
I don't wanna be a criminal for the rest of my life
Everything that I've done before
Has brought me back down to my knees
I'm crying out to you,Lord
It's getting harder and harder to see
If there's good left in me?
Is there any good left in..ME!!!
Is there any good left in me?
I want to be a good man
Is there any good left in me?
I want to be be a good man, I wanna be a saved
I want to be a free man but I feel like a slave
and I'm crying out to you, Lord
It's getting harder and harder to see
If there's good left in me?
Is there any good left in me?
I want to be a good man
Is there any good left in me?
I want to be a good man
Is there any good left in me?
I want to be a good man
Is there any good left?
Pull me from the darkness, lift me back into the light
Fill this empty vessel, fill this hole I have inside
Am I worth forgiveness, I can't make myself believe
Show me that you're listening and tear this devil out of me
I want to be a good man
Is there any good left in me?
I want to be a good man
I want to be a good man
Is there good left in me?
I want to be a good man
Is there any good left in me?
I want to be faithful but I know that I'm not
I want to be a good man,I want to do right
I don't wanna be a criminal for the rest of my life
Everything that I've done before
Has brought me back down to my knees
I'm crying out to you,Lord
It's getting harder and harder to see
If there's good left in me?
Is there any good left in..ME!!!
I want to be a good man
Is there any good left in me?
I want to be a free man but I feel like a slave
and I'm crying out to you, Lord
It's getting harder and harder to see
If there's good left in me?
I want to be a good man
Is there any good left in me?
I want to be a good man
Is there any good left in me?
I want to be a good man
Is there any good left?
Fill this empty vessel, fill this hole I have inside
Am I worth forgiveness, I can't make myself believe
Show me that you're listening and tear this devil out of me
Is there any good left in me?
I want to be a good man
I want to be a good man
Is there good left in me?
I want to be a good man
Is there any good left in me?
I think the meaning of this song is pretty obvious. Christian who doesn't want to sin but keeps sinning.
In an interview Joey said this about the song "During the writing of this song, I literally was on my knees, crying out to anyone who would listen, even if it wasn’t necessarily God. When you’re in a place like that you question what you’ve done in life to bring such negative karma on. You ask yourself “is it my fault?.”
By the way this song sounds, he's a Christian who keeps doing 'UN-Christian' things. He thinks he's unworthy of God's love and is struggling to be a good Christian.
