I love a variety of music and often I hear a different message in the lyrics then the one that was intended. I guess it is because I look at things from a lot of differnt viewable angles. When I first found out about J using and he first got into recovery there were a couple of songs I heard that I liked and related to. I don't know if yo will like them but thought I would post them.

This one reminded me of his choice and journey towards being clean.

MELISSA ETHERIDGE LYRICS


"Heal Me"

Ain't it crazy
For a moment there
This felt just like dying
But now I see that something inside
Is coming alive
Ain't it crazy

No use running from a revolution
I just surrender to this evolution

Heal me lift me
Take me to the other side
Amazing grace
Has touched my face
And the sweet sound doesn't lie

Ain't it crazy
For a moment there
I just gave up trying
But now I see
You can let the light in
You can begin again
Ain't it crazy
I lay me down in this sweet perfection
I am a witness to my resurrection

Heal me lift me
Take me to the waterside
Drop me in let me swim
Let everyone know
I'll be coming home again

Make no mistake
I'm wide-awake
Ain't it crazy

Heal me lift me
Take me to the other side
I'll take what I've earned
These lessons I've learned
I'm ready for the ride
Heal me lift me
Take me and my soul will fly
My battered heart will make a new start
Let everyone know
I'll be coming home again
Heal me lift me
Take me to the waterside
Drop me in
Come on and watch me swim
Let everyone know
I'll be coming home again



This one I love but it also has bittersweet memories because it reminds me of his stuggle with his DOC and his relationship with me. It reminded me of how meth came into his life and took a hold of it, how he would think it was just a "thing" and he could get past it but that it took an unexpected hold on him, and when he was still using he felt that if he stopped he would loose and if he told me he would loose....it just reminded me of what a stong hold it can have on someone even when they don't want it to.

Song Lyrics: The Weakness in Me
Album Lyrics:
Also by Joan Armstrong

(Joan Armatrading)
I'm not the sort of person
Who falls in and quickly out of love
But to you I gave my affection
Right from the start
I have a lover who loves me
How could I break such a heart
Yet still you get my attention
CHORUS:
Why do you come here
When you know I've got troubles enough
Why do you call me
When you know I can't answer the phone
You make me lie when I don't want to
And you make someone else some kind of an unknowing fool
And you make me stay when I should not
Are you so strong or is all the weakness in me
Why do you come here
And pretend to be just passing by
But I mean to see you
And I mean to hold you
Tightly
Feeling guilty worried
Waking from tormented sleep
Oh this old love has me bound
But the new love cuts deep
If I choose now I'll lose out
Oh one of you has to fall
And I need you and you
CHORUS
