Adversity Songtext
von American Arson

I know where the whole thing started, it was 15 years ago
Remember when we ran out of cash 6 hours away from home?
I pawned off a couple gift cards, we limped home without a word
And the band bit the dust the next day
They left me sitting on the curb

So bring on the misery, you made my callouses strong
Douse me in gasoline, I′m burning all night long
When the waves crash and the wind blows and my body breaks
God bless adversity: author of every song


I know that my voice ain't pretty when I′m singing from my soul
Remember when they played "Fingerprints" on Christian radio?
And everyone called the DJ, they said, "take it off the air!"
But they couldn't see the worship in a heart laid bare
And it burned, but I learned

So bring on the misery, you made my callouses strong
Douse me in gasoline, I'm burning all night long
When the waves crash and the wind blows and my body breaks
God bless adversity: author of every song

When the currents come
When the armor fails
When their cannons smash my sails
I will not be moved
I have come too far
Lessons learned from every scar


So bring on the misery, you made my callouses strong
Douse me in gasoline, I′m burning all night long
When the waves crash and the wind blows and my body breaks
God bless adversity: author of every song
