Lyrics

Been Through the Wars

Words and music by Kristin Erickson c 2006

I?ve wrestled the blues and lost lots of rounds
I?ve been so lost swore I?d never be found
There?s so many mistakes it?s not even funny
It?s best not to even get started about money
But in all of my travels and all of my trials
Whether I?m docile or whether I?m wild

Chorus: I?ve been through the wars and I?ve come back to tell you
That life?s a beautiful thing
I know that you?re torn and you may not believe me, but
Hold on, hold on, hold on
See what the morning brings

There have been some sad losses
Somehow I got through it
I learned how to mimic the way that you do it
It?s only this one day I have to live well
What the next one will bring me I really can?t tell
And in all of my travels and all of my trials
I?ve worn many faces and tried many styles

Chorus

There?s been lots of love and broken hearts too
But I keep falling, it?s just what I do
Little by slowly it keeps getting better
The more I learn about what really matters
And in all of my travels and all of my trials
Love is what carries me over the miles

Chorus
