Blackbird

     Blackbird singing in the dead of night
     Take these broken wings and learn to fly.
     All your life
     You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

     Blackbird singing in the dead of night
     Take these sunken eyes and learn to see.
     All your life
     You were only waiting for this moment to be free.

     Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
     Into the light of the dark black night.
     Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
     Into the light of the dark black night.

     Blackbird singing in the dead of night
     Take these broken wings and learn to fly.
     All your life
     You were only waiting for this moment to arise
     You were only waiting for this moment to arise
     You were only waiting for this moment to arise

                                             --The Beatles, 1968

When Trouble Comes

Though your world is crumbling
and darkness threatens to overwhelm,
Don't despair. Look up.
See? There's a small break in the clouds
A shaft of light beams down
Changing everything.
Yes, I know, the world around you is still dark.
But, now, you know
that someday
Light will come
and that is enough
for now.
— G Stargel
