A quicky today as I am off to spend a thrilling morning chopping down Japanese Knotweed. Oh joy of joys!
After a few conversations with a few of my lovely friends who read me ... I felt I needed to post the lyrics to a song. I used to play this over and over when times were really bad and I felt as if I was banging my head against a brick wall. Alas it's not on Youtube and I have no idea if I can paste it from my itunes. Lyrics will have to do for the meantime........
Help Is On The Way - Nancy Lamott
Don't give up the ship
Even when you feel it's sinking
And you don't know what to do
Don't give up your dream
Even though you may be thinking
It never will come true
Life has it's own ideas of how things come about
And if you just hang in there, life is gonna work it out
Help is on the way
From places you don't know about today
From friends you may not have met yet
Believe me when I say I know
Help is on the way
You don't have to know
Where the path you're on is leading
You just have to walk along
Dreaming as you go
Asking for the things you're needing
You never can go wrong
If you have faith that things are happening as they should
And just believe each step you take is leading you to something good
Help is on the way
From places you don't know about today
From friends you may not have met yet
Believe me when I say I know
Help is on the way
So open your heart, Open your mind
No matter how you've tried and failed
Tomorrow you could turn and find that
Help is on the way
From places you don't know about today
From friends you may not have met yet
Believe me when I say I know
Help is on the way
Help is on the way
Help is on the way
Life has it's own ideas of how things come about
ReplyDeleteSo true! Beautiful lyrics. I was wondering how it would sound like, and went online to find a sample. I finally found one!, and it is so soft, and...melancholy? I bet it must bring tears to any one's eyes when listened to in times of need.
I have that song! You gave it to me :) It's in my "Julia's Tunes" playlist :)Very comforting.
