Songs

I really love listening to music. It can get you "pumped up" to run a race faster. It can calm and relax you. It can make you cry.

I was listening to an iPod playlist that Te made for me. He knows I like Sarah McLaughlan, so he included a lot of her songs on the playlist. One that came on this morning was Answer. It seems so fitting....

I will be your answer at the end of the line
I will be there for you while you take the time
In the burning of uncertainty I will be your solid ground
I will hold the balance if you can’t look down

If it takes my whole life I won’t break, I won’t bend
It’ll all be worth it, worth it in the end
Cause I can only tell you what I know
That I need you in my life
When the stars have all burned out
You’ll still be burning bright

Cast me gently into morning
For the night has been unkind
Take me to a place so holy
That I can wash this from my mind
The memory of choosing not to fight

If it takes my whole life I won’t break, I won’t bend
It’ll all be worth it, worth it in the end
Cause I can only tell you what I know
That I need you in my life
And when the stars have all burned out
You’ll still be burning so bright
Cast me gently into morning for the night has been unkind
