There Will Be LIGHT

I thought I'd share a song that expresses a lot of who I am and how I live my life.

The song is called "Light" from Next To Normal.

We need some light. First of all, we need some light.

You can't sit here in the dark, and all alone. It's a sorry sight.

It's just you and me.

We'll live, you'll see.

Night after night,

we'd sit and wait for the morning light.

But we've waited far too long for all that's wrong

to be made right.

Day after day,

wishing all our cares away,

trying to fight the things we feel,

but some hurts never heal.

Some ghosts are never gone,

but we go on.

We still go on.

And you find some way to survive,

and you find out you don't have to be happy at all

to be happy you're alive.

Day after day,

give me clouds, and rain, and grey.

Give me pain if that's what's real.

It's the price we pay to feel.

The price of love is loss.

But still we pay.

We love anyway.

And when the night has finally gone,

and when we see the new day dawn,

we'll wonder how we wandered for so long, so blind.

The wasted world we thought we knew,

the light will make it look brand new.

So let it shine.

Day after day,

we find the will to find our way.

Knowing that the darkest nights will someday see the sun.

When our long night is done,

there will be light.

Can we open up our lives.

Sons and daughters, husbands, wives.

And fight that fight.

There will be light.

THERE WILL BE LIGHT.

THERE WILL BE LIGHT.
