I am a wayward child and I'm runnin' stubborn and blind
I can't seem to learn until my hand feels the burn, oh no
You know the dangers that I cannot see
You've got to save me, Jesus, save me from me

Chorus:
Train me up in the way I should go
Before the rooster starts to crow
Train me up, please show me your way
'Cause from your path I don't wannna stray
Train me up in the way I should go
Before that rooster starts to crow
Train me up in the way I should go

My eyes can see but I refuse to perceive
My ears can hear, but I do not conceive, oh no
Thinkin' I got answers when I don't know a thing
I need your love, I need your discipline

Chorus

I can argue whether water is wet or
That your azure sky is not really blue
I'm looking for loopholes and diving right through
Catch my fall, Lord, draw me to you

Chorus
