Sometimes I need an older song,
A song that understands
Who I am and where I’ve been,
A song that grew with me
And felt with me
That never left me
All these years.
Sometimes I need an older song,
A song that can make me feel
Where I came from
And where I belong,
A song that’s as warm
As an old coat or shoe
A song that fits and
Sticks like glue.
New songs come
And new songs go
But not all songs
Can touch you
The way that some
Songs do.
They remind you
Of that life,
Of that breath
Of that particular time
When life was simpler
When hearts were purer
And when you danced
And lived
And loved.
The thing about hope is that it’s a positive force that shines the most when it’s dark. When everything’s going well, we hardly notice it’s there. But when things go against us, when our dreams fade and when we see no immediate reprieve from our troubles, that’s when hope does its best work for us.
