about

Ok! I was writing this album when I still had little twins! I was a mess indeed! This song seems to resonate with women especially! The best of us is a mess and we need to poke fun at ourselves a bit, take some grace and charge onward! I've done this song more country- but I like this funky rendition, too!

lyrics

I’m A MESS
C 2011 Words and Music By Julie Kinscheck

VERSE: I’m a MESS
I Need help
Don’t always seem quite well In the head
That’s what I said
I’m a MESS!

VERSE: I try hard
I fall flat
Diet pills just make me hungry I feel fat
I get mad
I’m a MESS!

TRANS BRIDGE 1: I’m hardly ever anywhere on time I justify how fast I drive just act as if it’s fine
VERSE: I talk fast
Insert foot
Try to fix it with an email Made things worse We’re both hurt
I’m a MESS!

TRANS BRIDGE 2: Can’t even get my six year old to sleep Distracted and I’m tired and stressed out and I weep

PRIMARY BRIDGE: I know I am so blessed I try to make a difference
But to one whom much is given
Expectation runs so high
I’d crumble in a moment
But for the rock on which I stand And the grace to start a new day Angels holding my hands

VERSE: The roof leaks
The debt peaks
I don’t always handle things The best
But thank God
That there’s grace
To count on
And friends to share this load ‘Cause this life’s a twisty road And I try to do my best
But I’m a mess
Friends in the race
Remind me of his grace Till we see him face to face Throw up my hands
Live by His commands
His way is the best
And I’m a MESS!
