jeremiah

I remember the day that you were born

A true blessing from God, a brand new dawn

A son of hope, a son of faith

A son of meaning and a saving grace

Now you're seventeen, knowing real life struggles

Walking through the fire, carrying the rubble

You know what you want, you speak what you need

A true young leader, planting your own seed

Jeremiah, you've got a heart of gold

Pure riches inside you that will never grow old

I left Greeley and came to rehab for you

To prove my love is real, to start something new

I know I can't erase the years I was away

Or take back the pain that I caused you yesterday

I'm asking for forgiveness, praying that you do

You are my blessing, and I love you

You showed me tough love when you drew the line

Said, "Get it together, or I'm leaving this behind"

You told me your feelings, you let your emotions fall

Said you just wanted to be a kid, not an adult through it all

Making grown-up decisions way before your time

I'm so sorry for the hurt, I'm sorry for the crime

Of stealing your youth when I couldn't be strong

I'm working on myself now to right my wrong

Jeremiah, you've got a heart of gold

Pure riches inside you that will never grow old

I left Greeley and came to rehab for you

To prove my love is real, to start something new

I know I can't erase the years I was away

Or take back the pain that I caused you yesterday

I'm asking for forgiveness, praying that you do

You are my blessing, and I love you

You're a young man of inspiration, a style of purpose

Seeing the truth way beneath the surface

Those pure riches inside are gonna shine so bright

I'm stepping out the dark to stand in your light

I can't make up the time, but I can change my ways

To give you the peace you deserve for the rest of my days

Jeremiah, you've got a heart of gold

Pure riches inside you that will never grow old

I left Greeley and came to rehab for you

To prove my love is real, to start something new

I know I can't erase the years I was away

Or take back the pain that I caused you yesterday

I'm asking for forgiveness, praying that you do

You're my son of hope, Jeremiah, I love you
