The road to Paradise ( JoJo’s song)

 

JoJo thinks of long ago places

She remembers forgottten faces

Life shouldn’t be so hard on a child

Fifteen years old feeling so alone

Turned her back on her childhood home

Carrying a load heavy as a stone

 

She followed her soul in search for peace

To beautiful foreign faraway places

The best time in her life she remembers

was living with people in the desert sun

 

JoJo thinks of long ago places

She remembers forgottten faces

Life shouldn’t be so hard on a child

Fifteen years old feeling so alone

Turned her back on her childhood home

Carrying a load heavy as a stone

 

An ego so small but a soul so tall

All she wanted was justice for all

Cancer ate her body twice

She fought back and stayed alive

 

JoJo thinks of long ago places

She remembers forgottten faces

Life shouldn’t be so hard on a child

Fifteen years old feeling so alone

Turned her back on her childhood home

Carrying a load heavy as a stone

 

She worked as a nurse and her daily strife

Was trying to keep other people alive

She met a man life gave her a smile

She married him and gave birth to a child

 

JoJo thinks of long ago places

She remembers forgottten faces

Life shouldn’t be so hard on a child

Fifteen years old feeling so alone

Turned her back on her childhood home

Carrying a load heavy as a stone

 

She’s been lied and betrayed for no reason

Felt the burning pain of treason

You should have trust with every step you take

But trusting could be her biggest mistake

 

JoJo thinks of long ago places

She remembers forgottten faces

Life shouldn’t be so hard on a child

Fifteen years old feeling so alone

Turned her back on her childhood home

Carrying a load heavy as a stone

 

And now that she’s growing older

A heavy load  still rests on her shoulders

Every day is one to survive

But it’s the fight that keeps her alive

 

JoJo thinks of long ago places

She remembers forgottten faces

Life shouldn’t be so hard on a child

Fifteen years old feeling so alone

Turned her back on her childhood home

Carrying a load heavy as a stone

When she was 15 years old she left home and lived in various countries all over the world. She settled down in the UK and got married and got a child. She worked as a nurse for many years.  She got cancer twice in her life and survived both times.  The struggle to survive still keeps her alive.
