When you're so tired...

This is my take on my theme song for my life (Kara's idea) and also kinda sorta blatantly copying Tiff's post today. :D It isn't really my theme song for my whole life but it does describe the last 14 years of being sick.

Some of the lyrics in this song are just perfect. I've been singing "When you feel so tired but you can't sleep" line for the last 2 weeks. If you want, you can click on my playlist over there <- and play the songs while you read the lyrics (unless you already know them by heart like me.) Once you click on it, you can scroll around to pick a song.

Fix You

by Coldplay

When you try your best, but you don't succeed

When you get what you want, but not what you need

When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep

Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face

When you lose something you can't replace

When you love someone but it goes to waste

Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

When high up above or down below

When you're too in love to let it go

But if you never try you'll never know

Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face

When you lose something you cannot replace

Tears stream down your face

And I...

Tears stream down your face

I promise you I will learn from my mistakes

Tears stream down your face

And I...

Lights will guide you home

And ignite your bones

And I will try to fix you

And on a more positive note, I feel so very blessed in many ways in my life. I love this song by Sarah McLachlan. I like how it helps me remember that there are so many little miracles going on around me every day. Life is beautiful and a gift. I can wish and hope and pray for better health to enjoy it, but the truth is, I am very blessed in many ways, and I am so grateful.

Ordinary Miracle

It’s not that unusual

When everything is beautiful

It’s just another ordinary miracle today.

The sky knows when it’s time to snow,

Don’t need to teach a seed to grow,

It’s just another ordinary miracle today.

Life is like a gift they say

Wrapped up for you every day

Open up and find a way

To give some of your own love.

Isn’t it remarkable?

Like every time a raindrop falls

It’s just another ordinary miracle today.

Birds are meant to have their flame

They always make it home on spring

It’s just another ordinary miracle today.

When you wake up everyday

Please don’t throw your dreams away

Hold them close to your heart

‘Cause we are all a part of the ordinary miracle

Ordinary miracle,

Do you want to see a miracle?

It seems so exceptional

That things just work out after all

It’s just another ordinary miracle today.

The sun comes up and shines so bright

And disappears again at night

It’s just another ordinary miracle today.

It’s just another ordinary miracle today.
