Lyrics

A SONG FOR THE HEART'S JOURNEY

Words & Music By Jerry Pettit Facebook.com/JerryPettitMusic

I was seventeen with a restless heart Thought love was supposed to be easy from the start Gave it all to someone who didn't understand That forever's just a word when you're holding teenage hands

I learned that love don't always come with happy endings evermore That sometimes goodbye is just a slammed door But I wouldn't take it back, no I wouldn't change a thing 'Cause that's how I learned what heartbreak means

CHORUS This is A SONG FOR THE HEART'S JOURNEY Through the fire and the rain For every love that almost killed me For every beautiful mistake I made I've been broken, I've been golden I've been lost and I've been found This is A SONG FOR THE HEART'S JOURNEY And I'm still learning how

There was the one who taught me I was worth more Than walking on eggshells on the floor And the one who showed me kindness when I'd forgotten how to feel The one who proved that gentle love could actually be real

Then there was the one who looked like my redemption But taught me you can't fix yourself through someone else's affection I had to do that work alone in the mirror, face to face Learn to love myself before I loved in a healthy way

Now I'm standing here with open hands and open eyes Not afraid of falling, not afraid to fly I know love might hurt me, but I also know I'll survive 'Cause I've died a thousand deaths and come back more alive

Great chorus. I'll listen to a song for the heart's journey almost any old day. Good work!

Great song with a nostalgic vibe that brings me back to the 70's. Well-produced; the doubled vocals are great, and the wall of sound synth supports them well. Lovely valentine's day song, and I'm sticking with that holiday till we're way past the current "President's Day"

Oh, this is so annoying. I wrote a comment and then lost connection. And my comment was gone. I really enjoyed my listen. Another beautiful, masterful song, singing and playing. Love your title too.

Such a beautiful song! I really like the chorus and mostly the line about the beautiful mistakes!

@cindyrella 3d

What a perfect song! That chorus is so amazing!! So much truth all the way through. Love it!!

@odilongreen 3d

The warm, nostalgic vibe absolutely glows! And the chorus soars with its gentle reflection. I can picture this being performed in front of a full orchestra by an old-style crooner giving it the full Frank Sinatra treatment and bringing the house down.

Nicely done; classic chord structure to support the wisdom gained in time. Chorus has an instantly singalongable vibe to it.

now that's what i call a chorus! this year has brought you an abundant harvest of romantic songs. i hope you make an album of the best among them because these songs really fly.
