Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I watched him circle 'round the block
Finally stopped at mine
Took a while before he knocked
Like all he had was time
"Excuse me, ma'am, maybe you can help
The directions weren't so clear
I'm looking for Olivia Zand
They said I might find her here"
[Verse 2]
Well, I looked real hard and asked him
What she's got he's looking for
[Verse 3]
Said there's somethin' I think she'd want to know
And I let him in the door
It's not like me to trust so quick
Caught me by surprise
But somethin' about him gave me ease
Right there in his eyes
[Verse 4]
And just like that your life can change
If I hadn't looked away
My boy might still be with me now
He'd be twenty-five today
No knife can carve away the stain
No drink can drown regret
They say Jesus brings you peace and grace
Well, He ain't found me yet
[Verse 5]
Na-na, na, na, na
Na-na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
[Verse 6]
He sat down and took a deeper breath
Then looked right in my face
"I heard about the son you lost
How you left without a trace
I've spent years just trying to find you
So I could finally let you know
It was your son's heart that saved me
And a life you gave us both"
[Verse 7]
And just like that your life can change
Look what the angels send
I lay my head upon his chest
And I was with my boy again
Well, I spent so long in darkness
I never thought the night would end
But somehow grace has found me
And I had to let him in
[Verse 8]
Na-na, na, na, na
Na-na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
[Verse 9]
Na-na, na, na, na
Na-na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
[Verse 10]
Na-na, na, na, na
Na-na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
[Verse 11]
Na-na, na, na, na
Na-na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
