As I was driving to a work meeting this morning I was listening to my daughters Katy Perry cd. Isnt she amazing ? For the first time I really listened to the lyrics of this song and was really moved by it as I went through a time when these words were me and so I can totally relate. I know others here can too. I will put a link to the youtube in the comments section if you want to have a listen. By The Grace Of God Was 27 surviving my return of Saturn A long vacation didn’t sound so bad Was full of secrets locked up tight like iron mountain Running on empty so out of gas Thought I wasn’t enough Found I wasn’t so tough Layin’ on the bathroom floor We were living on a fault line And I felt the fault was all mine Couldn’t take it anymore By the grace of God (there was no other way) I picked myself back up (I knew I had to stay) I put one foot in front of the other And I looked in the mirror and decided to stay Wasn’t gonna let love take me out that way I thank my sister for keeping my head above the water When the truth was like swallowing sand Now every morning, there is no more mourning Oh, I can finally see myself again I know I am enough Possible to be loved It was not about me Now I have to rise above Let the universe call the bluff Yeah, the truth’ll set you free By the grace of God (there was no other way) I picked myself back up (I knew I had to stay) I put one foot in front of the other And I looked in the mirror and decided to stay Wasn’t gonna let love take me out, oh, that way, No, that way, no Not in the name of love In the name of love That way, no, That way, no I am not giving up By the grace of God I picked myself back up I put one foot in front of the other And I looked in the mirror (looked in the mirror) Looked in the mirror (looked in the mirror) By the grace of God (there was no other way) I picked myself back up (I knew I had to stay) I put one foot in front of the other And I looked in the mirror and decided to stay Wasn’t gonna let love take me out that way
