[Verse 1]

I was raised on New York rock and roll
I took control, I was cool
Made the rounds made the record hops
I hit the top, played the fool

[Bridge]

From above I truly heard a friend
Truly now you must be born again

[Chorus]

I put away my idols
I stripped away all the titles
Money wrinkles and things do decay
I put away my idols

[Verse 2]

I was living by my horoscope
Taking pills to cope
With my pain
Rock and roll was my identity
My whole security
I made a name
[Bridge]

Truly from above I heard a friend
Truly now you must be born again

[Chorus]

I put away my idols
I stripped away all the titles
Money wrinkles and things do decay
I put away my idols

[Verse 3]

Looking back over my years
My story did unfold
I worshiped people and their gifts
Not the gift giver at all

Well you see
People they've come and gone
But life in Him goes on and on
He's given me a brand new song
To sing

[Chorus]
I put away my idols
I stripped away all the titles
Money wrinkles and things do decay
I put away my idols

[Bridge]

Truly now you must be born again
Truly that's the way you will begin

[Chorus]

You put away your idols
I stripped away the titles
Money wrinkles
Things do decay
I put away my idols

[Outro]

Cadillacs end up in the junkyard

I put away my idols
