Story Behind The Song

I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer after surgery. It was a tough recovery from surgery and fighting the cancer. This is the 3 verse story. I wanted to write about other challenges that other people face. The first verse is about a recovering alcoholic. The second verse is about a mother that loses her job. It's not just about overcoming these challenges, but seeing them as a blessing instead of a negative view of these circumstances.

Song Description

Lyrics

Bobby's been clean for 7 months, 5 days and 3 hours
His daughter, Mary, sees he's trying real hard
If he was ever gonna learn
He'd have to clear his hard heart and set it free

If he could go back, he wouldn't change a thing
Those empty bottles taught him more than a thing or two
Patience, love and you
Patience, love and you

Emily walks into work for the last time
She's got 3 kids to feed, doesn't know where to turn
If she was ever gonna stand up
She'd have to clear her hard heart and set it free

If she could go back, she wouldn't change a thing
That boss man taught her more than a thing or two
Patience, love and you
Patience, love and you

Went to the doctor, he pushed down and said
You better get your things in order - you ain't got much time
If I was ever gonna heal
I'd have to clear my hard heart and set it free

If I could go back, I wouldn't change a thing
Oliver, he taught me more than a thing or two
Patience, love and you
Patience, love and you
Patience, love and you
Patience, love and you
