Teens in Chronic Pain

Where do I begin?
There’s so much I want to say to make it easier
Tomorrow’s on it’s way
Do you believe I want to take your painful memories?
I know you want to run away
I know that you can’t see tomorrow

And when you’re feeling al alone and you can’t go on,
Remember I am here
And when you think you’ve gone too far,
I‘ll meet you where you are
My arms are open wide

Oceans from the Rain

And I’m amazed by You. Cause You’re never far away
And all that I’ve been through, Your love has never changed

The blood of Jesus can wash your pain away

I absolutely love the last line of this song.

Lucinda Jones, working at IHOP
Ten years worth of bacon, eggs and tears
She’s waited on every creed and color
While waiting on this day to get here
Graveyard shifts, two bit tips
Making every quarter count
Was worth it all to see her son
In that cap and gown

There are times in life when you gotta crawl
Lose your grip, trip and fall
When you can’t lean on no-one else
That’s when you find yourself
I’ve been around and I’ve noticed that
Walking’s easy when the road is flat
Them danged ol’ hiils’ll get you every time
Yeah, the good Lord gave us mountains
(The good Lord gave us mountains)
So we could learn how to climb
Yeah, oh

Fix You

When you try your best, but you don’t succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can’t sleep
Stuck in reverse

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

My Struggle

Must be some mistake
‘Cause I’m not worth the price you paid.
With every passing hour
I convince myself that you saw something in me.
But I can hear them still,
As the whispers laced with hatred fill the room.
Guess I’m wasting my time
How could you love a man like me?

Must be some mistake.
‘Cause I’m not worth the price you paid.

Hey God

Hey, God, I don’t believe I ever thanked you
For the time my brother got sick
Wasn’t sure he’d make it
Then he finally pulled through

Thank you
