One more for today...

Some fun with song lyrics...I heard this one on the plane home from Korea. It made me cry. On the plane. Somehow I always end up in tears on planes and in or around airports. I'm also in the midst of a HUGE Sugarland kick:

"Fall Into Me"

When the weight of the world bears down so strong
You leavefootprints on the street
And there's too many miles to face
Without a few more hours sleep
The storm clouds overhead won't shed
Any rain to quench your thirst
I wanna be the one you reach for first

When your faith is stretched so thin
That you can see straight through your soul
And you can't find a nickel to buy a smile
'Cause your pockets all got holes
You wanna shut the door and
Hide before the day can get much worse
I wanna be the one you reach for first

Fall into me
My arms are open wide
And you don't have to say a word
'Cause I already see
That it's hard
And you're scared
And you're tired
And it hurts
And I wanna be the one you reach for first

I wanna be the bottle you've been drinkin with your eyes
Or the road you run away on
You've been runnin' all your life
The third row pew that you last knew
As a child in church
I wanna be the one you reach for first

Fall into me
My arms are open wide
And you don't have to say a word
'Cause I already see
That it's hard
And you're scared
And you're tired
And it hurts
And I wanna be the one you reach for first

Before you turn the key
Before you fall asleep
Before you drift away
To fight those demons waiting for you
In your dreams
Before your arms are stretched wide open
Before you're reaching for the sky
Before you're searching for direction
And all the answers till you fall

Fall into me
My arms are stretched wide open
You don't have to say a word
'Cause I already see
That it's hard
And you're scared
And you're tired
And I know it hurts
And I wanna be the one you reach for first
