Joshua James - Benediction Lyrics






Busted wire and the tattered tongue
Songs she wrote but she never sung
Quiet eve of another year
She'll soon forget

Her blackened lungs from the cigarettes
Her mother smoke' when her father left
She sings a song in a sad attempt
To change her mind

And she said "'n' I have hope for others
Father, I have given up
'Cause I have hope for others
Father, I I have given up"

Quart' to ten in the room below
Busted wares suppose they'll need to know
Close her eyes and hums a song
That made her smile

Grabs a note and reads aloud
"The passion new'd make a mother proud
I miss you so, it seems we all much going on"

'Cause she wrote "I have hope for others
But Mother, I must go alone
Yes, I have hope for others
Mother, I-I have given up"

Well I've, I've given up
Well I, I, I, I have given up
Yeah, I've given up
My love, my God, I've given up

In my heart, in my heart, in my heart
In my heart, in my heart, in my heart
I have, I have given up

In my heart, in my heart, in my heart
In my heart, in my heart, In my heart
I have, I have given up

    My friend just sent me this, saying that this is how she feels right now, and will always feel from now on.....I'm speechless.

  8. d.... ....

    I always heard "haven't given up" instead of "have given up"... now this song sounds extra depressing - and changes the song's meaning completely. Still love it though.

    The way he sings can make deciphering lyrics to be pretty hard. Even though I have the lyrics from when I bought the cd I haven't looked at them too much, but when I do I always wonder if they're right, haha.

    @pigamous3 that should say soul not sould...lol

    :) thanks.... the more i listen to his music, from the beginning, the more i want to hear from him... his songs are have meaning to them... sadly this one really hits close to home for me... he is truly a gift & what makes him more special to me is seeing live things from him-he seems so humble...

    if only i could find an all around substantial man as he who actually touches my sould rather than sucks the life from it!! :)

  11. p.... ....

    You always put it so perfectly eloquently . He is very innovative and completely original which is so very, very rare to find these days. I adore Joshua James with all my heart.
