Desperate Measures

My anthem. My go-to when I need bolstering. My reminder that I am worthy, have a story to tell, and lives to change.

I’ve made a lot of promises I couldn’t keep

I’ve paid a lot of money, lost a bit more sleep

I walked away with nothing from the battleground

I may have lost a fortune, but my heart has been found

My friends keep telling me these wounds will heal 

I will press on until I seal this deal

Desperate times call for desperate measures

I’ve done some things that I regret

But someday I’ll be back on my feet again

In all life’s pain and all life’s pleasures

There’ve been some faces I’d rather forget

But someday I’ll be back on my feet again

I’ve lived in boxes and I’ve lived with bones

I’ve cried all night ‘cause I just wanna go home

Parted ways with friends I never meant to lose

But I’ve found a freedom in the path that I choose

Channel

CH

Please don’t send your prayers for me

I’ve spent a lifetime on my own knees

I’m making changes in what I see, what I see

To help free others who were caged like me 

Chorus
