The song is "What Love Really Means" and it's written/performed by JJ Heller. It's one of those songs that kind of "sums it all up" in terms of why I believe what I believe. I encourage you to watch the video as it is beautiful in its own way watching JJ sing the song - but if not, here's the lyrics as well.
What Love Really Means
Artist: JJ Heller
Album: When I'm With You
He cries in the corner where nobody sees
He’s the kid with the story no one would believe
He prays every night, “Dear God won’t you please...
Could you send someone here who will love me?”
Who will love me for me
Not for what I have done or what I will become
Who will love me for me
‘Cause nobody has shown me what love
What love really means, what love really means
Her office is shrinking a little each day
She’s the woman whose husband has run away
She’ll go to the gym after working today
Maybe if she was thinner then he would’ve stayed
And she says…
Who’ll love me for me?
Not for what I have done or what I will become
Who will love me for me?
‘Cause nobody has shown me what love
What love really means, what love really means
He’s waiting to die as he sits all alone
He’s a man in a cell who regrets what he’s done
He utters a cry from the depths of his soul
“Oh Lord, forgive me, I want to go home”
Then he heard a voice somewhere deep inside
And it said, “I know you’ve murdered
And I know you’ve lied
And I have watched you suffer all of your life
And now that you’ll listen, I’ll tell you that I...”
I will love you for you
Not for what you have done or what you will become
I will love you for you

2: This is my most absolute favorite song by her. So powerful and incredible. Helps remind me what true love should be.
Thanks for sharing! Hope things are looking up. Love to your family!
Hey Heather - I didn't forget the link - if you click "this video" it takes you there....so there!!!!!
I forgot for a second that was your screen name, but then when I saw the picture it made me totally remember....and then I got a big ol' smile!!!!!
Thanks for the loving, Heather - we're all sitting at home eating pizza watching "American Idol", so I'd same the fam is getting close to being "back to normal". Brayden's got his "wit" back....if I hadn't already promised, I'd consider sending him to school tomorrow!!!
Love J.J. Heller. I saw her in concert a couple years ago when she first came out. I have three of her albums if you would like copies :)
