Lyrics

God bless this, God bless that
God, I miss you now
All the people left when
The blue sky crashed
And I can't do this alone
I am scared to change
And to stay the same
When I'm calling out your name
Take it easy on me
Take it easy on me
I will trust you
I will let you hurt me carefully
Take it easy on me
'Cause I break easily
And this steel butterfly
Will learn to fly eventually
God, take it easy on me
When I talk like that
When you tear me apart
When I raise my voice
I break my heart
But if I gave it all
Let the wall come down
Would you take my hand?
Will you show me how?
I don't know my place
I don't know my own face
Just the lines
I can't erase
Take it easy on me
Take it easy on me
I will trust you
I will let you hurt me carefully
Take it easy on me
I break easily
And this steel butterfly
Will learn to fly eventually
God take it easy on me
No, I was never one to lean on
Fighting this war against the wind
Oh, when I find ground to rest my feet on
I will lay my weapons down
So take it easy on me
Take it easy on me
I will trust you
I will let you hurt me carefully
Take it easy on me
I break easily
And this steel butterfly
Will learn to fly eventually
God take it easy on me
Oh, you guys thank you, thanks
Thank you so much
God bless you, man
Thank you, man
Thank you so much
You guys are nice
Thank you so much, thank you
Thank you so much
So this next song is one of the first songs I wrote
After I had really a collapse in my late twenties
I think I was trying so hard for so long to be something else
Because I didn't think that who I was
Was near good enough for anything
And I got real caught up in a lot, a lot of bad stuff
And I was going down
And then, uhm, I knew I was going to cry
When I talked about this
Because I always cry when I talk about Scott, you know?
He is my savior and he came in there, man
And in a lot of psyche wards and a lot of rehabs
And he was there and he'd rock me to sleep
And he's just been a wonderful man
And I really thought that I shouldn't even do this anymore
I felt like I crapped over everything that God gave me
And I didn't deserve it
And one day I woke up and I called my manager
My beautiful manager David
Who has been with me for twenty five years almost and I just said
"Hey man, is it okay if we maybe try it again, you know?"
He's like, "Absolutely, I got your back, I'm there with you"
So I wanted to uhm, dedicate this song to my manager David
Who's been with me for so long
How much I love him and my husband, Scott! Yeah
