Billy Joe Shaver wrote and recorded this song.  I don't how many people in general can identify with these lyrics from the standpoint of self-improvement - I hope all can.  <p> However, I can attest to the fact that all Christians can identiy with the lyrics.  <p>Self-improvement is of God.  Actually, He has empowered us to be like Him.  But our struggle is with ourselves.   Having the power to manifest as a Son of God is not the same as actually manifesting as one.  <p>So, for all those who aspire to self-improvement, commit to it, see yourself as the new man, then moment by moment just be it.
