One of dem dayz!

I am not a particular fan of days like today, you know.
One of dem dayz
That spied reflection sure gave me a start
But I'm glad to be breathing and gotta beating heart.
Why in the name of Jesus did I get out of the bed
Is the only thing rolling around in this head

Yep,
One of dem dayz
Watch my lips somebody
I'm just curious
Seems mighty mysterious
Everybody still looking the same
Hey, what's your name?
but ain't nobody gettin' wid it
Is what I'm sayin' really all that lame?
(Said hello and you would have thought I spat on the person's feet.
Humph!  Made we want to take my friendly little gesture back in a heartbeat.)

Yep,
One of dem dayz
This day, this time, this time
I just don't seem to fit
Feel like I'm about to fall in some dark pit
and speaking of feet -
Lord, have mercy,
All run over and molded to a strangers toes
Whose shoes are these walking on this unrecognized dusty road.



Saturday night quiet


Don’t give up: Saturday night quiet

Don’t give up, the song says.  There’s a place that you belong.  Rest your head - you worry too much.  There will be times when things get rough.  Just don’t give up.

Move on to another time, another town? Finding it hard to settle down?  Just don’t give up.  You are not the only one.  There is no reason to be ashamed.  “You still have us”, they holla.  “It is not as it seems.  We are proud of who you are.  Just don’t give up.”  It has never been easy.  Don’t give up no matter what you do.  Believe there is place for you.  

Don’t give up.  Whatever you do don’t give up.  Never thought that you could fail.  You changed your fate.  You changed your name.  It seems as though nobody wants you when you lose.  Don’t give up,  you are not beaten yet.  You can’t lose…no, not this time.

Don’t give up you still have him.  He don’t need much of anything.  Just your faith and your love.  Don’t give up because somewhere there is a place where you belong.

The times are moving fast now….near the end of this road.  It has been hard and yes the tears followed but always hear, don’t give up.  Rest your head. You worry too much.  Don’t give up oh please don’t give up.  Your time is close and your blessing is standing there.  Here is your  bridge. It is waiting for you to cross. 

Don’t give up.  You still have him.  He is proud of who you are.  It has never been an easy road.  Just don’t give up.  Believe there is a place where you belong.  Don’t run just stand. Fight.  Peace be still.  Peace be still.  Don’t give up.  Don’t give up.

Things are never as they seem.
