One Republic - "Good Life"

Sometimes when the darkness beckons, the pull is strong and the
encouragement to defend against it is weak. Now is such a time.

I feel deflated and demoralized.
People are a disappointment.
Love is an illusion.
Life is drudgery.

But just for a minute, I'd like to believe in something 'more.'
Possibility. Better days.

So I turn to music, and at least for a moment, can imagine.
Believe. Hope. Release.
Let's call it a last ditch effort. Hike!

"Bridge Over Troubled Water" by Simon & Garfunkel

When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all

I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you

I'll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on Silver Girl,
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way

See how they shine
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
