I Have a Mind of My Own
by Cherie Call
from "Whatever It Takes"
"It's just a drink," I can hear them say
"No body's gonna hear about it anyway.
Don't you want to be a part of the crowd?"
Not this time
I don't want to cross that kind of line
'Cause I am strong enough to walk away
No matter what anyone may say.
(chorus)
I have a mind of my own
and a hear that belongs to Jesus
and the will to follow Him,
and feet that walk away from darkness
I have a mind of my own.
Movie screen tries to tell me how to be cool
Television tries to tell me when I'm supposed to laugh
Radio tries to tell me all about love
Commercials tell me everything I have to have
But I am smart enough to figure out my own dreams
what they're all about.
(chorus)
How can I trust? How can I know?
When to listen, which way to go?
All the questions, all the strong words
I have to figure out all the things I've heard.
So I listen to the answers every time I pray.
That's when I feel I must be doing something right
I hear the things that my real friends have to say
I think of how my family's always on my side
And I am wise enough to listen well
'Cause their true love will never fail
(chorus)
I have a mind of my own
and a hear that belongs to Jesus
And friends who will walk with me
And love that wipes away the darkness
I have a mind of my own.
