She got the call today One out of the gray And when the smoke cleared It took her breath away
She said she didn't believe It could happen to me I guess we're all one phone call from our knees
We're gonna get there soon
If every building falls And all the stars fade We'll still be singing this song The one they can't take away
I'm gonna get there soon She's gonna be there too Cryin' in her room Prayin' oh, Lord come through
We're gonna get there soon
Oh, it's your light Oh, it's your way Pull me out of the dark Just to shoulder the weight Cryin' out now From so far away You pull me closer to love Closer to love
Meet me once again Down off Lake Michigan Where we could feel the storm blowin' Down with the wind
And don't apologize For all the tears you've cried You've been way too strong now for all your life
I'm gonna get there soon You're gonna be there too Cryin' in your room Prayin' Lord come through
We're gonna get there soon
Oh, it's your light Oh, it's your way Pull me out of the dark Just to shoulder the weight Cryin' out now From so far away You pull me closer to love Closer to love
Cause you are all that I've waited for all of my life (We're gonna get there) You are all that I've waited all of my life
You pull me closer to love Closer to love Pull me closer to love (You are all that I've waited for) You pull me closer to love Closer to love Closer to love (Cause you are all that I've waited for) Closer to love
Breath in breathe out
Tell me all of your doubt
If everybody bleeds this way
just the same Breath in breathe out
Move on and break down If everyone.. goes away
I will stay We push and pull,
and I fall down sometimes
I'm not letting go,
you hold the other line
Although the lyrics are not diabetes related, Alive by Pearl Jam - good chorus to sing loudly along with when you need a pick me up (although be careful when you sing it loudly in the street, as people may think you are nuts - been there, done that!)
So hold your head up high and know it's not the end of the road Walk down this beaten path before you pack your things and head home At the end of the road you'll find what you've been longing for
I know 'cause my feet have the scars to show I was lost with vague direction and no place to call home
It's time for you to press on This is not your war Set your sights to North and press on This is not your escape Wash way what they thought of you Because in this place, we're all as good as dead ...end cycle...
Behind the mask you'll find yourself alone It's not the end of road for you
This is one of my favorite songs ever... it just lets me know that there is always a way

James, you should tell the story behind that :) Sounds like a good one
Haha. I was going to post this one the other day, but forgot about it. It's not really D-related, but parts of the song could be. And it's called Low, so that's what made me think about posting it.
Low by Coldplay
You see the world in black and white No colour or light You think you'll never get it right But you're wrong... you might
The sky could fall, could fall on me They're passing on the seas But you mean more, mean more to me Than any colour I can see
All you ever wanted was love But you never looked hard enough it's never gonna give itself up
All you ever wanted to be Living in perfect symmetry Nothing is as down or old as us as us
You see the world in black and white Not painted right You see no meaning to your life Yes you try Yes you try
And all you ever wanted was love but you never looked hard enough it's never gonna give itself up
All you ever wanted to be Living in perfect symmetry Nothing is as down or old as us
And don't you wanna see it come soon Floating in a big white balloon Given on your own silver spoon
Don't you wanna see it come down Death is throwing your arms around Say it in a moment too soon
'Cause I feel low 'Cause I feel low Ohhhhhhhhhh Yeah I feel low Oh no Ohhhhhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhhhhh
'Cause I feel low Ahhhhhhhhhh 'Cause I feel low Ahhhhhhhhhh But I feel low Oh no Ohhhhhhhhhh
Well, I was walking home from a party one night to my apartment and Ten was playing on my Walkman (a time before ipods). It was early in the morning, and quite quiet. I was quite . . . ok, very drunk, but happy!! I love "Alive" and started to sing - but obviously, quiet in the early morning, volume was turned up loud, and because I was drunk, not entirely in control of my volume!! So singing loudly and merrily to myself, the chorus "Oooooooh IIIIIIII, ooooohhhh, I'm still aliveeeee, ooohhhh, IIIIIII, oooohhhh I'm still alive . . . . " I became aware of a police car driving slowly next to me, with two cops in it, one laughing and the other shaking his head, either in disproval or dismay, I am not sure. Suffice to say I shit up quite quickly!!
My song in Superman by Five for Fighting. I know it's weird but if you think about it, when it says 'its not easy to be me' its really not easy being a diabetic! I love that song!
I am in love with Stay Strong By the Newsboys! One of my really good friends introduced it to me and since then ive been in love! :) I just listened to the other two songs you had mentioned and i also like those! :)
i found a good "cure" song. it's about someone who wake up one morning feeling different--in a good way, and s/he knows everything will be okay :o) (at least that's how i interpret it).
"so moved on" by o.a.r.
I woke today, felt another way, everything was gonna be fine. My head rose up then my legs came too, quarter past nine was the time. I used to lose floating memories, found myself wishing I'd remember old times. But I woke today, felt another way, felt free in the sky to fly.
I stepped out the door, didn't know what for, I saw my lady walking along. I could have cried out what I wanted to say, but I am sick of all this terrible charm. I used to be into apologies, a regular to shame I was shy. But I woke today, felt another way, felt free in the sky to fly.
Well I'm through the gate, got to my house about a quarter to eight. And I made a drink, got about an hour to relax and just think. I'm just bored, nothing's ever gonna be the same anymore. And with my drink in hand I got up to stand and I was off to a regular day.
The morning dragged on, I was walking along, missing pieces fell to the ground. Apparently, I could not see, but I saw everything going down. So I packed my bags and I was on my way, I feel a little different in a different way. But like I said when I got out of bed, I was off to a regular day.
I could not hide, I wore my pride, it felt good to be on the run. The air quality was something new to me and I got along fine with the sun. And when I rest my heard and I lay down to bed, I put the pieces down with the blame. And if all goes well, at the morning bell, I'll wake feeling free just the same.
