From the recording Heartland Harmonies
Lyrics
I was a wreck, drowning in the past
Thought love was gone, thought nothing would last
Looked in the mirror, didn’t like who I saw
Just a shadow of the man I was before
But time don’t stop for broken hearts
You learn to live, you learn to restart
Now I’m standing tall, I’ve found my light
Turned the pain into fuel for the fight
My kids remind me what love’s all about
They keep my feet on solid ground
I’ve climbed the mountains, weathered the lows
But I still got miles to go
Built a life from the ashes and stone
Success in my hands, but I’m not alone
Laughter in the halls, little feet on the floor
They give me more than I asked for
Every scar, every fall
Was a step to where I stand tall
I lost a love, but I found my soul
And there’s still a fire I’ve yet to know
Now I’m standing tall, I’ve found my light
Turned the pain into fuel for the fight
My kids remind me what love’s all about
They keep my feet on solid ground
I’ve climbed the mountains, weathered the lows
But I still got miles to go
Yeah, I still got miles to go
