I got the blues

It’s all I can use

It’s all I know

So I let it show

It follows me everywhere

As a reminder of what’s there

The long, winding journey

Meant for me only

The tears I cried

What I’ve tried to hide

What I used to fear

The God who stood near

I got the blues

Here’s the news

It makes me see

What I used to be

The distance I traveled

The heart that unraveled

The love I lost

How much it cost

Trying to find my way

Praying every day

Healing my soul

Looking for something whole

So here’s the news

I got the blues
