DOWNLOAD MP3: JJ Heller – GOOD IDEA (Lyrics). JJ Heller releases new music with “Good Idea.” The track was written by Heller, David Heller, and Leslie Jordan. Heller shares on social media:
I have an unofficial theory that every parent is especially suited to thrive during a certain stage of their child’s development. While each stage has its pros and cons, I have to be honest and say that pregnancy, newborn stage, and toddlerhood were especially difficult for me.
It was always difficult to get down on the floor and play with my kids (it was a true act of love to pretend to be a puppy trainer), but have a meaningful conversation with me? ALL-DAY LONG. I absolutely love having both of my kids officially in double digits.
As any parent of teens and tweens will tell you, it’s not all heart-to-hearts and “thank you for everything, Mom.” The older my kids get, the more complex their problems become. I can’t just fix it anymore. Mostly I get to listen and offer little bits of advice and wisdom. They’re learning how to navigate their own lives, including friendships (which can be treacherous territory).
When my girls are hurting because their friends aren’t treating them well, it hurts my heart. Sometimes I wish I could tag along at school with them and stick up for them when they’re getting mistreated or taken for granted. Instead, I have to trust that my words and fierce mama-love will be with them instead.
I want them to know, as my friend @taylorleon says, “Love Himself dreamed (them) up.” I want to shout from the rooftops that they have God-imparted, inherent dignity and they deserve to be treated with respect and kindness. Adolescence is intense (to say the least), so I want these lyrics to be a reminder that God created each of us with love in every tiny detail. No mistakes.
This is the message I will tell my children over and over.
If you’re doubtin, second-guessin
I have always been a true believer
There was never any question
You have always been a good idea
JJ Heller – Good Idea Lyrics
By Leslie Jordan, Dave Heller, and JJ Heller
You had a friend who knew you best now she ignores you
But you deserve more than the crumbs she’s leaving for you
And it’s okay for you to say exactly what you need
Things seem so simple when you’re little, now they’re harder
You feel untethered and you’re looking for the harbor
And when you don’t know who to turn to, you can turn me
If you’re doubting
Second guessing
I have always been a true believer
There was never any question
You have always been a good idea
So many feelings turning circles deep inside you
It’s overwhelming and it makes you want to hide
You are growing stronger
And you’re learning how to trust yourself
If you’re doubting
Second guessing
I have always been a true believer
There was never any question
You have always been a good idea
I know it’s hard to imagine, but I’ve been in your shoes
And I have to be honest, I still get confused
But I believe that God can’t make mistakes
And there is a goodness in all he creates
If you’re doubting
Second guessing
I have always been a true believer
There was never any question
You have always been a good idea
If you listen, love will tell ya
You have always been a good idea
