Mi Chelle - this morning as I was waking up the “this little light of mine” song started running through my head completely unbidden. I haven’t sang that song since my kids were little!
@shari I too , awoke with a song this am "playing in me olde haide". World on Fire Sarah Mclachlan.
Lyrics:
Hearts are worn in these dark agesYou're not alone in this story's pagesThe light has fallen amongst the living and the dyingAnd I'll try to hold it in, yeah I'll try to hold it inThe world is on fire, it's more than I can handleI'll tap into the water, try to bring my shareI'll try to bring more, more than I can handleBring it to the table, bring what I am ableI watch the heavens but I find no callingSomething I can do to change what's comin'Stay close to me while the sky is fallingI don't wanna be left alone, don't wanna be aloneThe world is on fire, it's more than I can handleI'll tap into the water, try to bring my shareI'll try to bring more, more than I can handleBring it to the table, bring what I am ableHearts break, hearts mend, love still hurtsVisions clash, planes crash, still there's talk ofSaving souls, still the cold is closing in on usWe part the veil on our killer sunStray from the straight line on this short runThe more we take, the less we becomeThe fortune of one man means less for someThe world is on fire, it's more than I can handleI'll tap into the water, try to bring my shareI'll try to bring more, more than I can handleBring it to the table, bring what I am ableThe world is on fire, it's more than I can handleI'll tap into the water, try to bring my shareI'll try to bring more, more than I can handleBring it to the table, bring what I am able
@journeywithme2 I love this. I’m always attuned (forgive the pun) to the songs that randomly play in my mind. I haven’t read or watched a lot of the news since November, and every time there’s some kind of upsetting or annoying item that comes on, for example, I usually hear something like the line from the old Alphaville song “Forever Young”:
Let's dance in style, let's dance for a whileHeaven can wait, we're only watching the skiesHoping for the best but expecting the worstAre you gonna drop the bomb or not?
I don’t consider myself either a pessimist nor an optimist, but nothing surprises me anymore. This morning I woke up to this in my head, though. It’s by the band Yes, and it’s these kinds of moments that always give me hope. The song is titled “Hold On”:
@toma Love your Pun... I am a punny person myself LOL whether the puns are intended or not!!
I also love your song!!!! I'll take your Hold On and raise you one with Sarah's Hold On
