It's Gonna Be Alright

OK. The lyrics. I know. Songs on a blog. I've done it before. Tamm has done it, Kel has done it. But just know when we do, it means something to us at that moment in our life. You know what 'they' say, when life hands you lemons, it's up to you to make lemonade. True. Just add plenty of sugar. You know what I mean? So here I am today. Here is where my head is.

"Good Day" by Jewel
I say to myself Self, why are you awake again? It's one a.m.
Standing with the fridge wide open, staring
Such a sight, florescent light
The stars are bright
Might make a wish, if I believed in that shit but
As it is, I might watch TV
Cause it's nice to see people more messed up than me (sadly, sometimes true says Jenn)
I say to myself, as I smile at the wall, just let myself fall
It's gonna be all right, no matter what they say
It's gonna be a good day, just wait and see
It's gonna be alright, cause I'm alright with me
It's gonna be, it's gonna be, it's gotta be
I shiver, shut the door
Can't think standing here no more
I'm alone, my mind's racing, heart breaking
Can you be everything I need you to be?
Can you protect me like a daughter?
Can you love me like a father?
Can you drink me like water?
Say I'm like the desert, Just Way Hotter.
The point of it all
Is that if I should fall
Still you're name I'll call
It's gonna be all right, no matter what they say
It's gonna be a good day, just wait and see
It's gonna be OK, cause I'm OK with me
It's gonna be, it's gonna be
As long as we laugh out loud
Laugh like we're mad ( I so do sometimes, if you know me, you know this)
Cause this crazy, mixed up beauty is all that we have
Because what's love but an itch we can't scratch, a joke we can't catch
God, but still we laugh
Get back in bed, turn off the TV
You say "It'll be alright baby, just wait and see." (this part makes me cry; why?)
"It's gonna be all right, it's gonna be okay
It's gonna be all right, just wait and see
Its gonna be all right, no matter what they say
Its gonna be a good day, just wait, just see
It's gonna be okay, cause I'm okay with me
It's gonna be, it's gonna be, it's gonna be okay...
Uh oh, I'm awake again
It's one A.M.Staring...
Such a sight
Well, at least the stars are bright
************************************************
This is me, when I worry, when it's bad, I fall but the whole time falling, know that I should get right back up, be positive. Fall anyway. There I go. Falling. Here I am. On the ground.
I'll get up when the news gets better. It'll get better.

Ah, great lyrics, lyrics that make you think or cry or smile, there's nothing like great lyrics! So often a good song expresses the words we aren't able to find inside ourselves, I think that is what makes us latch on to them! :)
