Irene

I poured out my cup till there was nothing left

Gave away my strength just to help the rest

I let the weight of the world pull me to the floor

Thought I was shattered, couldn't take it no more

Yeah, I was broken down, caught in the dark

But you can't put a chain on a generous heart

I found a new rhythm, I found a new grace

Wiped all the sorrow right off of my face

I'm taking it one day at a time

Trusting in God's will, letting go of mine

I stepped out the shadows, stepped into the light

Irene, you made it through the longest night

I used to just survive, just trying to get by

But look at me now, yeah, now I'm living

They call me relentless, I weather the storm

Keeping my faith when the weather ain't warm

Still good to everybody that crosses my path

But I learned how to heal, and I learned how to laugh

I picked up the pieces and built something real

Trusting the process and trusting the feel

No more looking back at the tears that I cried

I got this beautiful fire inside

I'm taking it one day at a time

Trusting in God's will, letting go of mine

I stepped out the shadows, stepped into the light

Irene, you made it through the longest night

I used to just survive, just trying to get by

But look at me now, yeah, now I'm living

Every scar is a story of strength that I found

I pulled my own spirit right up from the ground

I surrendered control, let the heavens just guide me

With nothing but love and devotion inside me

Yeah, I'm breathing in, and I'm breathing out

Ain't no room left for the pain or the doubt

I'm taking it one day at a time

Trusting in God's will, letting go of mine

I stepped out the shadows, stepped into the light

Irene, you made it through the longest night

I used to just survive, just trying to get by

But look at me now, yeah, now I'm living

Oh, look at me now, I'm finally living
