[Verse 1]

I know where the whole thing started

It was 15 years ago

Remember when we ran out of cash

Six 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

[Chorus]

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

(Woah- woah)

[Verse 2]

I know that my voice ain't prеtty

When I'm singing from my soul

Remembеr 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

[Chorus]

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

(Woah- woah)

[Bridge]

When the currents come

And my armor fails

When their cannons smash my sails

I will not be moved

I have come too far

Lessons learned from every scar

[Chorus]

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

(Woah- woah)
