Holding On

I've been feeling really down lately.  I work fulltime and go to school part time and consequently I don't have a lot of time for a social life.  I'm one of those people who needs social interaction and constant validation.  I need to have friends who I can talk to about anything. I need to feel like I have someone to lean on because alone I'm just not strong enough. I left school early yesterday because I felt so alone. I love living on my own, but I miss having my family close by.  I was dreading going to school today when this song popped into my head. It's from the musical The Ark by Michael McLean:

The message of this moment is so clear
And as certain as the rising of the sun
If your world is filled with darkness, doubt and fear
Just hold on, hold on, the light will come

Everyone who's ever tried and failed
Stands much taller when the victory's won
And those who've been in darkness for a while
Kneel much longer when the light has come.

It's a message every one of us must learn
That the answers never come without a fight
And when it seems you've struggled far too long
Just hold on, hold on, there will be light

Hold on. Hold on. the light will come.
If you feel trapped inside a never-ending night
If you've forgotten how it feels to feel the light
If you're half-crazy thinking you're the only one
who's afraid the light will never reall come -
Just hold on. Hold on. The light will come!

The message of this moment is so clear
And as certain as the rising of the sun
If your world is filled with darkness, doubt and fear
Just hold on, hold on, the light will come.

 It was so nice to feel the comfort that it brought.  I know things aren't going to be perfect right away, but I can hang in there and I know that eventually, everything will be alright.  Off to school now. :)
