Ashley

I walked a road where the shadows were long

Lost in the echoes of everything wrong

No roof overhead and a bruised, heavy heart

Caught in a habit that tore me apart

The hardest goodbye that a mother could know

Watching them take him, with nowhere to go

But I'm over a year in the clear, sober light

With a good, loving husband who treats me just right

I've got my boy back in the warmth of my home

And I want you to know that you're never alone

I'm Ashley, I made it through sorrow and strife

And we are all worthy of love and a life

I kept a heart made of gold through the rain

'Cause true understanding is born out of pain

Now I'll help anyone who is fighting the dark

Trying to find just a single, small spark

I'm full of the life that I thought I had lost

I paid for my peace and I know what it cost

'Cause I'm over a year in the clear, sober light

With a good, loving husband who treats me just right

I've got my boy back in the warmth of my home

And I want you to know that you're never alone

I'm Ashley, I made it through sorrow and strife

And we are all worthy of love and a life

Every obstacle standing right in your way

Is a mountain that you can start climbing today

Don't let the past tell you who you should be

If you need a witness, just look right at me

Yeah, I'm over a year in the clear, sober light

With a good, loving husband who treats me just right

I've got my boy back in the warmth of my home

And I promise you now that you're never alone

I'm Ashley, I made it through sorrow and strife

And we are all worthy of love and a life

Yes, you are so worthy of love and a good life
