(no subject)
i couldn't stop thinking about this song while we were talking, but i didn't want to break to find it. you know that feeling - and i KNOW you do - of knowing the exact song that someone needs in that moment?
well baby, this one's for you.
*
One hand
Reaches out
And pulls a lost soul from harm
While a thousand more go unspoken for
They say, what good have you done
By saving just this one
It's like whispering a prayer
In the fury of a storm
And I hear them saying you'll never change things
and no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so
this world will know
that it will not change me
This heart
Still believes
The love and mercy still exist
While all the hatred rages and so many say
That love is all but pointless in madness such as this
It's like trying to stop a fire
With the moisture from a kiss
As long as one heart still holds on
Then hope is never really gone
What I do is so
This world will know
That it will not change me....
- garth brooks, the change.
random, i know. but that one lyric became a mantra for me when i was growing up...that in spite of all the madness, all the reasons to just give up and get beaten down, that i could emerge and be who i knew i was.
it worked for me, and i'm sending the same hope your way. i've got nothing but faith.
all my love,
bella.
