My Addiction Song Collection (with JD White)




The Heart of a Mother


Music by: JD White
Lyrics By: Rose Barbour

With her broken heart
She prays each night
Hoping for the day
That her child will see the light.

Feeling alone in the darkness
Her heart can hardly bear
The thought of her child
Sleeping on the street somewhere.

Not much help to be had
Only stigma and shame
As she suffers in silence
In this deadly game.

The strain on her family
And relationships, too
But, she loves her child
What is she supposed to do?

Chorus
There is no rest for the weary
As one crisis follows another
The pain runs deep
In the heart of a mother.

It takes a strong mother
To love one with addiction
Why she was chosen
I believe, is God’s recognition.
 
He knew she could handle it
and the depths of her love
He knew he could trust her
With His child from above

Chorus
There is no rest for the weary
As one crisis follows another
The pain runs deep
In the heart of a mother.
 
This nightmare may have made her
Question her faith
But, I have no doubt that in Heaven
For her, God has a special place

God has a special place


She’s Tired Dear Lord


Music by: JD White
Lyrics By: Rose Barbour

That little child that you gave to her
Who she loves beyond words
Is now someone she doesn’t recognize
Flying higher than the birds.

He is a slave to a disease
That is so very cruel
Lord, she’s trying to protect him
Isn’t that the rule?

Chorus
She is sinking under the weight
Of such a heavy burden
She’s tired Dear Lord
And her heart is hurting.

In complete desperation
She stays up late each night
Praying for the answers
But she just can’t make it right.

Everything she’s tried has failed
The addiction keeps on winning
She’s on a roller coaster ride
And her head is spinning.

Chorus
She is sinking under the weight
Of such a heavy burden
She’s tired Dear Lord
And her heart is hurting.

Save him from the grips
Of the demon’s hands
Please bring him back home to her
For she no longer can.

A mother’s love is a blessing
But sometimes it’s not enough
She needs some help from you, Lord
This life can be so tough.

Chorus
She is sinking under the weight
Of such a heavy burden
She’s tired Dear Lord
And her heart is hurting.

She is tired and scared
With nothing left to give
I ask you Dear Lord
Please let her child live.

Please give her guidance
On what she’s supposed to do
Please help her heart to heal
From all it has been through.

There are so many great parents
Living through this hell
Please open your arms to them
And heal their hearts as well.


Mama, Don’t Give Up!

Lyrics By: Rose Barbour

I’m dying on the outside
And screaming within
It’s a deadly game
That no one wins.

The people that I’ve hurt
At every turn
The roads I’ve travelled
The bridges I’ve burned.

Chorus
Mama, I hurt so bad
From this life I’m living
The addiction that I have
Is so unforgiving.

Through the darkness
There’s a glimmer of hope
That I might break free
If I can somehow cope.

With nothing to lose
I’m taking control
Reclaiming my life
And my heart and soul.

Chorus
Mama, I hurt so bad
From this life I’m living
The addiction that I have
Is so unforgiving.

Please forgive me
For the pain I’ve caused
I hate myself
But I was so damn lost.

Turning a nightmare
Into a dream
The power is in me
I want to believe.

So, Mama, don’t give up
I am on my way
Keep your hope alive
And continue to pray.

Who I was
Is not who you see
This life is hell
It has hardened me.

Please forgive me
For the pain I've caused
I hated myself
But I was so damn lost.

So, Mama, don’t give up
I am on my way
Keep your hope alive
And continue to pray.
