To all of my friends
To all of my friends who are going through rough times right now.
"Don't Give Up" by Peter Gabriel
Sung by Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush
In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail
No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
But no one wants you when you lose
Don't give up
'cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not beaten yet
Don't give up
I know you can make it good
Though I saw it all around
Never thought I could be affected
Thought that we'd be the last to go
It is so strange the way things turn
Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground
Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up
We don't need much of anything
Don't give up
'cause somewhere there's a place
Where we belong
Rest your head
You worry too much
It's going to be alright
When times get rough
You can fall back on us
Don't give up
Please don't give up
Got to walk out of here
I can't take anymore
Gonna stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come
And whatever may go
That river's flowing
That river's flowing
Moved on to another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men no-one needs
Don't give up
'cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not the only one
Don't give up
No reason to be ashamed
Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up now
We're proud of who you are
Don't give up
You know it's never been easy
Don't give up
'cause I believe there's the a place
There's a place where we belong

That literally made me cry, but it was a good cry. Thank you so much for the recent comment on my blog. I've missed you too, but time has a funny way of getting away from you with a baby around.
Anyway, thank you for sharing these lyrics and thank you for being you. You're the bestest!
I love that song!
But I love you mostest. Thank you honey.
I heard it tonight in the car and started to tear up. So many people I know are going though hard times right now.
I do carry each and every one of you with me in my heart even if I don't leave a lot of comments or send a lot of email.
