Big Jess That Morning
[Intro]
As sure as the sun rises it sets
Forest Gump must be my life weather man
Cause I sure never know what I'm gonna get
A roller-coaster of emotions, ups and downs
Some days I fell that I couldn't get up
And sometimes I was so high even if I try I couldn't touch the ground
This is what is now
A season of new beginnings
Bringing closure to open endings
Hitting the game, wining home, running the last [?]
No longer folding under the pressure
This is the era of the new Big Jess, yes sir
It's never the same thing
It's funny what each day brings
It's nothing less than amazing
[Verse 1]
That morning I awoke to my son's cries
And the sunshine gently bouncing off his young eyes
I can't describe this feeling, and how much I
Was mesmerized by his presence, man it touched my
Soul, just how much I guess you'll never know
Until you witness that miraculous spectacle
So sweet and so innocent
I can't believe that I'm a part of something so magnificent
[Bridge]
Just then I caught another glimpse of Heaven
That feeling has always been my preferred medicine
The evils are fire-walled and blocked from being let in
Though the pressure sometimes slips by
And it is my worst enemy
Trying to smother and suffocate me
Doing its best not to let me breath
[Verse 2]
That morning I was awaken by a gun shot
My heart stopped and I only had one thought
Protect my family at all cost
Cause if they were ever gone away from me
Then everything it's all lost
And then I started questioning my faith again
Is God real? Do I really need to pray to Him?
Plus the Devil is always trying to make me sin
Sharks are circling, is it it really safe to swim?
Cause I'm drowning in a sea of uncertainty
I'm positive that I'll never be worry-free
My negativity is constantly flourishing
So I'm searching for the harmony to [?] me
[Bridge]
Just then the roof caved in
Rain poured and broke with the force of hurricane winds
I didn't think I'd make it to the days in
And as I took cover and sheltered my family from the storm
I was overcome with such fear, a feeling that I had never felt before
[Verse 3]
That morning when I crawled out of bed
Was as dark as it's ever been, I thought I was dead
Thoughts in my head, had my stomach up in knots
Couldn't run from the distractions and the troubles that I got
Like I'm stuck in a spot, cemented like a street-sign
Wish I could press fast-forward or rewind
I need a kick in the behind each time I choose to put my think high and start to decline
I've seen my highs as well as my lows
Sometimes I feel I've gone as far as I can possibly go
But then the rain stops falling and the clouds run away and I awake the next morning to a bright sunny day
[Bridge]
As sure as the sun sets and seems like it might disappear for good, it will rise again
Even if it's been pitch black for weeks on end
It will return with a mighty vengeance, illuminating everything in an infinite distance
It can't rain forever
I now understand there is no pattern to the weather
Times brings change
[Outro]
That morning I awoke to my son's smile and the sunshine making everything worthwhile
