Lord, Make a Regular Man [or woman (:] Out of Me

This I would like to be - braver and bolder,
Just a bit wiser because I am older,
Just a bit kinder to those I may meet,
Just a bit manlier taking defeat;
Lord, make a regular man out of me.

This I would like to be - just a bit finer,
More of a smiler and less of a whiner, [im so sorry im guilty of this. im trying to change! heh.]
Just a bit quicker to stretch out my hand
Helping another who's struggling to stand,
Lord, make a regular man out of me.

This I would like to be - just a bit fairer,
Just a bit better, and just a bit squarer,
Not quite so ready to censure and blame,
Quicker to help every man in the game,
Not quite so eager men's failings to see,
Lord, make a regular man out of me.

This I would like to be - just a bit truer,
Less of the wisher and more of the doer,
Broader and bigger, more willing to give,
Living and helping my neighbour to live!
Lord, make a regular man out of me.
