Notes
It hurts to watch someone you love destroy themselves. I had a dream that a lost, loved one had "made it out."
This song is dedicated to all the warriors who are fighting addictions and demons every day every minute every second. Keep going folks, 'cause it's all worthwhile. And the ones who "make it out" have a powerful story to share. We all need you and your powerful stories.
Lyrics
Back and forth and outside in
When you hurt yourself you self-destruct you doubt
And the cards are stacked against you like
A thousand little hearts about to crack
We're glad you made it out
We're glad you made it out
Remember when I saw your face
You cried it's like I'm coming up for air
Some of us feel everything
Sometimes there's only so much you can bear
But we're glad you made it out
We're glad you made it out
We're glad you made it out
We're glad you made it out
