I Wanna Be Good

If I see my brother down in the dirt
It's up to me to help him right where it hurts
It's not enough for me to sympathize
I've got to realize
That sympathy is just a wishing well
The Holy Spirit's trying to compel
Me to get off of my theology
And be what I should be

I really, really wanna be good
Just like I really, really know that I should
It doesn't matter if I'm misunderstood
I really wanna be good
I really, really wanna do right
I really wanna walk in the light
From Sunday morning 'til Saturday night
I really wanna do right

Tell me now, what kind of friend would I be
If I ignored the opportunity
To gеt up off of my bended knee
And put my faith to work
They say that faith without works is dеad
I know it's true or Jesus wouldn't have said
To love your neighbor as to love yourself
And that's you and me

I really, really wanna be good
Just like I really, really know that I should
It doesn't matter if I'm misunderstood
I really wanna be good
I really, really wanna do right
I really wanna walk in the light
From Sunday morning 'til Saturday night
I really wanna do right, yeah

I really, really wanna be good
Just like I really, really know that I should
It doesn't matter if I'm misunderstood
I really wanna be good
I really, really wanna do right
I really wanna walk in the light
From Sunday morning 'til Saturday night
I really wanna do right

I really, really wanna be good
Just like I really, really know that I should
It doesn't matter if I'm misunderstood
I really wanna be good
I really, really wanna do right
I really wanna walk in the light
From Sunday morning 'til Saturday night
I really wanna do right...
