Susie

Kicking back inside your room, just watching the smoke

Talking through the heavy nights until the morning broke

Laughing till we couldn't breathe to chase the dark away

I had absolutely no one till you made me stay

You opened up your door when I was out in the cold

You gave me a home and a hope I could hold

Susie, you're the strength that helped me stand

With the kindest heart, you reached out your hand

Even when your hardships pull you down

You still pour your hope into everyone around

I'm on a path of healing, and it's all because I see

I just wish I could make you better, like you made me

I know the heavy burdens never really leave your side

But you still find the magic that you never try to hide

Even at your lowest point, you give your strength away

Adding color to my life and others every day

You took a broken spirit and you showed me how to heal

You gave me back my footing and you made the future real

Susie, you're the strength that helped me stand

With the kindest heart, you reached out your hand

Even when your hardships pull you down

You still pour your hope into everyone around

I'm on a path of healing, and it's all because I see

I just wish I could make you better, like you made me

I owe you a lifetime of gratitude, it's true

For every single second of the grace I found in you

So if you ever need a shoulder, if you ever need to rest

Just call on me, I promise you, I'll give you my best

I will be the one to listen when the world is too much

Returning all the kindness of your healing touch

Oh Susie, you're the strength that helped me stand

With the kindest heart, you reached out your hand

Even when your hardships pull you down

You still pour your hope into everyone around

I'm walking on this journey, and I'll say it endlessly

I just wish I could make you better, like you made me

Yeah, I will always be there for you, like you were for me
