I've been a walking heartache
I've made a mess of me
The person that I've been lately
Ain't who I wanna be

But you stay here right beside me
Watch as the storm goes through
And I need you

God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you

There's more here than what were seeing
A divine conspiracy
That you, an angel lovely
Could somehow fall for me
You'll always be love's great martyr
Ill be the flattered fool
& I need you

God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you

On my own I'm only
Half of what I could be
I can't do without you
We are stitched together
And what love has tethered
I could never undo

God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you, gave me you.
Gave me you.

God Gave Me You (Acoustic Reggae Version)

On Oct. 24, 2015 the world lost my best friend. This song is dedicated to my brother, Michael David Arcega. Rest in peace my bruddah. You will always be remembered and will forever live in me and everyone you touched. Here's to "starting all over again."

lyrics
Ramblers in the wilderness we can’t find what we need 
Get a little restless from the searching 
Get a little worn down in between 
Like a bull chasing the matador is the man left to his own schemes 
Everybody needs someone beside em’ shining like a lighthouse from the sea 

Brother let me be your shelter 
I’ll never leave you all alone 
I can be the one you call 
When you’re low 
Brother let me be your fortress 
When the night winds are driving on 
Be the one to light the way 
Bring you home 

Face down in the desert now there’s a cage locked around my heart 
I found a way to drop the keys where my failures were 
Now my hands can’t reach that far 
I ain’t made for a rivalry I could never take the world alone 
I know that in my weakness I am strong, but 
It’s your love that brings me home 

Brother let me be your shelter 
I’ll never leave you all alone 
I can be the one you call 
When you’re low 
Brother let me be your fortress 
When the night winds are driving on 
Be the one to light the way 
Bring you home 

And when you call and need me near 
Sayin' where'd you go? 
Brother I'm right here 
And on those days when the sky begins to fall 
You're the blood of my blood 
We can get through it all 

Brother let me be your shelter 
I’ll never leave you all alone 
I can be the one you call 
When you’re feelin' low 
Brother let me be your fortress 
When the night winds are driving on 
Be the one to light the way 
Bring you home 

Brother Arcega you will always live in me 
Brother Arcega you will always live in me 
Brother Arcega you will always live in me

God Gave Me You Lyrics

I've been a walking heartache
I've made a mess of me
The person that I've been lately
Ain't who I wanna be
But you stay here right beside me
Watch as the storm goes through
And I need you
'Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you, gave me you
There's more here than what were seeing
A divine conspiracy
That you, an angel lovely
Could somehow fall for me
You'll always be love's great martyr
And I'll be the flattered fool
And I need you, yeah
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you
On my own I'm only
Half of what I could be
I can't do without you
We are stitched together
And what love has tethered
I pray we never undo
'Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you, gave me you
He gave me you
