Jamie's Song

(Joyce Trudeau)

The most poignant of songs are generated out of the most emotional life experiences. I'm afraid that is the case with this song. I give people a box of tissues when I let them read this song. But I'm told that sad songs stimulate the same area of the brain as happy ones, actually making us feel better. Writing this was certainly a cathartic experience for me.

Ten tiny fingers grabbed my heart
A perfect child – but for his tiny broken heart
In him we had so many dreams
Losing him wasn't part of our scheme 

I begged to understand the reason
Dropped to my knees and prayed to Jesus
For the little boy with the broken heart
Whose broken heart tore ours apart

I wiped the tears from my eyes
And kissed the baby boy goodbye
I walked away from him – away from God
And reviled the God who left my side

CHORUS
Jamie, I am on my way
I'll get there and when I do
I'll find a road back to you
The path is lined with my heartstrings
And the flight of angels' wings
If I will see you in the by and by
Then I won't be afraid to die

My life will never be the same
As it was before the angels came
For the joy of loving there's a price to be paid
We paid in full with our pain

Into my life the darkness crept
So many times I have wept
Just as there's an end to night
At the end of darkness there comes light

Perhaps in time I'll change my view
And wonder if what is said is true
That God has a grander plan
One that we don't understand

CHORUS
Jamie, I am on my way
I'll get there and when I do
I'll find a road back to you
The path is lined with my heartstrings
And the flight of angels' wings
If I will see you in the by and by
Then I won't be afraid to die
Did the Heavens mend your broken heart
So you can make a brand new start?
Did angels teach you how to fly
So you can frolic with them in the sky?

I never held you in my arms
But I was enchanted by your charms
Whose arms reach for you from the clouds?
Darling, we all long to know - who holds you now?

CHORUS
Jamie, I am on my way
I'll get there and when I do
I'll find a road back to you
The path is lined with my heartstrings
And the flight of angels' wings
If I will see you in the by and by
Then I won't be afraid to die
