This is the title track from the CD. It is about kids that have come into this world with FASD, drug addiction, abuse, adoption, difficult pregnancy. They call them children from Hard Places and I adopted two of them....
lyrics
Hard Places
You can try to fit me in with a bow in my hair
Dress me up in what you think I should wear
Make excuses for the way that I am
Try to change me but you don’t understand
There’s not enough love to heal the pain
I’ve carried with me from the very first day
I just need prayers and sympathy
Then one of these days you’ll finally get me
Chorus I’m from hard places
Been living in the blank spaces
Looking for an oasis
To find some rest
If you want to hold me close
Then you got to let me be
The way that God created me
Nothing more nothing less
I’ve got eyes that sparkle and a gorgeous smile
A heart of gold but every once in a while
It puzzles you how hard I try
To find those missing pieces inside
I love to laugh at the silliest things
I’m a friend to all even when they’re mean
But I’ve got feelings that I can’t change
Those missing years I can’t explain
