I lived and breathed this song for a long time.
I cannot believe I haven't shared it on kidz yet.
Please take in the lyrics and eat up the message.

Where do we go from here?
How do we carry on?
I can't get beyond the questions.
Clambering for the scraps
In the shatter of us collapsed.
It cuts me with every could-have-been.
Pain on pain on play, repeating
With the backup makeshift life in waiting.
Everybody says that time heals everything.
But what of the wretched hollow?
The endless in-between?
Are we just going to wait it out?
There's nothing to see here now,
Turning the sign around;
We're closed to the Earth 'til further notice.
Clambering for the scraps,
Clambering in the light.
We're closed to the Earth 'til further...
An all-out one, only one street-level miracle.
I'll be a an out-and-out, born again from none more cynical.
Everybody says that time heals everything.
But what of the wretched hollow?
The endless in-between?
Are we just going to wait it out?
And sit here cold?
Look, you'll be long gone by then.
And lackluster in dust we lay
'round old magazines.
Fluorescent lighting sets the scene
For all we could and should being
In the one life that we've got.
Everybody says that time heals everything.
But what of the wretched hollow?
The endless in-between?
Are we just going to wait it out?
Just going to sweat it out?
Just going to sweat it out?
Wait it out.
How do we carry on?
I can't get beyond the questions.
Clambering for the scraps
In the shatter of us collapsed.
It cuts me with every could-have-been.
Pain on pain on play, repeating
With the backup makeshift life in waiting.
Everybody says that time heals everything.
But what of the wretched hollow?
The endless in-between?
Are we just going to wait it out?
There's nothing to see here now,
Turning the sign around;
We're closed to the Earth 'til further notice.
Clambering for the scraps,
Clambering in the light.
We're closed to the Earth 'til further...
An all-out one, only one street-level miracle.
I'll be a an out-and-out, born again from none more cynical.
Everybody says that time heals everything.
But what of the wretched hollow?
The endless in-between?
Are we just going to wait it out?
And sit here cold?

Fluorescent lighting sets the scene
For all we could and should being
In the one life that we've got.
Everybody says that time heals everything.
But what of the wretched hollow?
The endless in-between?
Are we just going to wait it out?
Just going to sweat it out?
Just going to sweat it out?
Wait it out.
When it came to accepting a life I didn't expect, one that seemed to be sprinkled with (and sometimes even doused with) pain, I asked myself the question. "Am I just going to wait it out?" I decided that no, I didn't want to just wait. Even if I was living in pain or regret or fear of the unknown, I wanted to live -- to truly be present. I didn't want to spend my one precious life waiting for it to get better. I have to remind myself of this often.... not to emotionally step outside my life because I don't like what I'm going through, not to put off my potential for happiness because I haven't been dealt the exact cards I wanted.... to live in the here and now every moment.
It reminds me of these quotes.
