New Man

Eye is to the body as a thought is to the soul
 They're both a lamp whose sharpness I control
 Beauty lingers 'bout as long as flattery, my friend
 That door doesn't let out but lets back in
 I was full of everything, my eyes put on this plate
 Full of joy I'm needing, less of late
 I can return love to You the best that I know how
 I believe my worth has been redeemed
 And I can be a new man now
 Flatterers can fill a room as readily as this
 The Devil goes to dinner amidst their bliss
 Following the need will lead me farther from truth's well
 Then only to be filled with what I miss
 I was full of everything, my eyes put on this plate
 Full of joy I'm needing, less of late
 I can return love to You the best that I know how
 I believe my worth has been redeemed
 And I can be a new man now
 I'm a new man, I'm a new man
 I'm a new man, I'm a new man
 Like I said, there's always room
 Where one keeps all things dear
 I'll shrink away from sight and thought
 And evil that appears
 I was full of everything, my eyes put on this plate
 Full of joy I'm needing, less of late
 I can return love to You the best that I know how
 I believe my worth has been redeemed
 And I can be a new man now
 I'm a new man, I'm a new man
 I'm a new man, I'm a new man
