Newsboys, “Born Again”

Pop-rock band Newsboys is one of the most successful Contemporary Christian acts of the past two decades. Since its birth in 1985, Newsboys has crafted its own unique CCM sound, which has paid off handsomely in the form of more than a dozen CDs, at least four #1 Christian radio hits, and sales of more than two million albums. Of course, very few bands survive 25 years with some element of stability, and the roster of Newsboys has changed throughout the years. The latest incarnation of Newsboys features former dc TALK member Michael Tait doing lead vocals, and Born Again is probably most apropos given this new personnel change. Born Again is the most-added song at Christian AC this week, with six stations adding the track to their regular rotation, and from the looks of it, Born Again is easily gearing up to become Newsboys’ latest hit.

BORN AGAIN Lyrics
Newsboys

I found myself? looking into the mirror
Knew I wasn’t who I wanted to be
I was living life the way that I wanted
But my eyes reminded me I’m not free
Believed a lie so everything that I know
Says I gotta go, tired of going solo
But I’m never gonna go there again

(Chorus):

This is what it is
This is who I am
This is where I finally take my stand
I didn’t wanna fall
But I don’t have to crawl
I met? the one with two scarred hands
Giving Him the best of
Everything that’s left of
The life inside this man
I’ve been born again

I see ya walking like you’re living in fear
Having trouble even looking at me
Wishing they would give you more than words
Sick of people telling how it should be
What’d ya download? Where’d ya get your info?
You saw that I’m sure
Now you’re? in the inload (?)
Gonna tell you what I believe

This is what it is
This is who I am
This is where I finally take my stand
I didn’t wanna fall
But I don’t have to crawl
I met? the one with two scarred hands
Giving Him the best of
Everything that’s left of
The life inside this man
I’ve been born again

We are the ones He called by name
I’m never gonna look back
There go, there go the guilt and shame
Said I’m never? gonna look back
This is who I am

This is what it is
This is who I am
This is where I finally take my stand
I didn’t wanna fall
But I don’t have to crawl
I met? the one with two scarred hands
Giving Him the best of
Everything that’s left of
The life inside this man
I’ve been born again
