Jay

I’ve carried the weight of addiction, I’ve seen the inside of a cell

I chased the shadows down the highway straight into the dark of hell

Slept out upon the cold concrete, lost everything I owned

More times than I can count, I had to walk the streets alone

But I woke up this morning, and I looked up at the sky

My name is Jay, and Lord I'm thankful just to be alive.

I’ve got a heart that loves too hard, maybe a little too much

I’m a loyal friend and a steady partner when the going's getting rough

I can be a little silly when the heavy times descend

I’m patient and I'm kind, right down to the bitter end

I’ve been broken into pieces, but I survived the fall

With a big heart still beating underneath it all.

I've lost it all a time or two, watched it slip right through my hands

But a man ain't just his mistakes, or the times he couldn't stand

I'm learning how to give myself a little bit of grace

And put a goofy, silly smile upon somebody's face

I'm an amazing partner now, I give the best of me

I leave the shadows in the past and walk out feeling free.

I’ve got a heart that loves too hard, maybe a little too much

I’m a loyal friend and a steady partner when the going's getting rough

I can be a little silly when the heavy times descend

I’m patient and I'm kind, right down to the bitter end

I’ve been broken into pieces, but I survived the fall

With a big heart still beating underneath it all.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I can't undo

The courage to change the things I can, and make my spirit new

Give me the wisdom to know the difference, every single day

Amen, I whisper softly, as the darkness fades away.

'Cause I’ve got a heart that loves too hard, maybe a little too much

I’m a loyal friend and a steady partner when the going's getting rough

I can be a little silly when the heavy times descend

I’m patient and I'm kind, right down to the bitter end

I’ve lost it all a time or two, but I survived the fall

Yeah, my name is Jay, and I'm thankful for it all.
