when I cannot find the words...

Music is automatically integrated into every part of my day.  I don't take this for granted.  I can listen to whatever I want, whenever I want.

Music is constantly in play while I am working.  And, when I cannot find my own words, there are lyrics that I lean into, that keep me going.

Today this happened.  I heard Bruce Springsteen singing Leah.

I want to build me a house, on higher ground

I want to find me a world, where love's the only sound

High above this road, filled with shadow and doubt

I want to shoulder my load, and figure it all out 

With Leah

I walk this road, with a hammer and a fiery lantern

With this hand I've built, and with this I've burned

I want to live in the same house, beneath the same roof

Sleep in the same bed, search for the same proof

As Leah 

I got somethin' in my heart, I been waitin' to give

I got a life I want to start, one I been waitin' to live

No more waitin', tonight I feel the light I say the prayer

I open the door, I climb the stairs 

 

 

Yeah, THIS.  Exactly.  Check.
