When I was just a boy my daddy moved us far away from home
And ever since that day I’ve had a propensity to roam
Spent 40 years feeling lost and forlorn
Til I moved back to the place where I was born
Now I’ve been born again
I’ve been born again
I’ve been lifted up by the spirit
I’ve been born again
I can see, smell, touch, taste, and hear it
A power deep inside of me
Is changing who I am
I’ve been born again
Now I’m letting go of all my preconceived ideals
I’m back where I belong baby, maybe you know how it feels
And I’m letting go of the thing I once called God
I’m trading the church for an old fishing rod
I’ve been born again
I’ve been born again
I’ve been lifted up by the spirit
I’ve been born again
I can see, smell, touch, taste, and hear it
It’s in every ocean wave
It’s blowing in the wind
I’ve been born again
No more searching
Struggling in vain
No more confusion
Or self-made pain
I’ve learned to forgive
And to be forgiven
I don’t need a sermon, mister
Cuz I’ve already risen
I’ve been born again
I’ve been lifted up by the spirit
I’ve been born again
I can see, smell, touch, taste, and hear it
A power deep inside of me
Is changing who I am
I’ve been born again
I’ve been born again
I’ve been lifted up by the spirit
I’ve been born again
I can see, smell, touch, taste, and hear it
It’s in every ocean wave
It’s blowing in the wind
I’ve been born again
Now there’s a power deep inside of me
That’s changing who I am
I’ve been born again
I’ve been born again
I’ve been born again
