It's a New Day...

So, today was pretty good. Not going to go into details, mainly because I am too tired (haha!). But, I am going to write (for the fourth day in a row... What? This isn't normal..!)
The big thing I want to write about is this song... Not just A song.. THE song... The song behind the theme of this blog!
So, every year, the choir program at my school does something called the Broadway Revue (every few years, they do Rock and Roll instead of Broadway). And so, each choir does this little medley that's 8-12 minutes long. and in between each group are in-between acts (who'd have guessed the name?!) And soooo... This year, I am auditioning. I decided a year ago I wanted to sing this one song... And now, I have no excuses. I am auditioning. And *hopefully* performing this song. It's called Feel the Rain and it was composed by Bill Kimes and sung (originally) my mom. Since we have the background (like karaoke) music, I can perform it.
And so, I am listening to the lyrics... And I realized... Oh my gosh. These lyrics!
Yeah... They are beautiful and amazing and just... Everything this blog is about! And so, I wanted to post them on here. (They sound better with music!)

Feel the Rain

Changes and phases, transitions in time
Endings, beginnings, no reason, no rhyme.
How many lifetimes are lived in our years?
WE look back on good times and always remember the tears.

One follows the other, we're up, then we're down.
Just when life seems simple, our world turns around.
How many lifetimes have we lived since we're born?
We search for the sunshine but always get caught in the storm

(Chorus)
Don't stop believing,  life is  love and life is pain.
Don't stop believing, there's no fault, and there's no blame.

To get to the rainbow, you've got to feel the rain.

'Cause changes come quickly, love's here then it's gone

Left broken and bleeding til time moves us on

We're all on a journey with roads we must chose

We all take our chances, we all pay our dues.

Cause to get to the rainbow, you've got to feel the rain.

Changes and phases, transitions in time

Endings, beginnings, no reason, no rhyme.
How many lifetimes have we lived sice we're born

We search for the sunshine and always get caught in the storm.

(Chorus)
Don't stop believing,  life is  love and life is pain.
Don't stop believing, there's no fault, and there's no blame.

To get to the rainbow, you've got to feel the rain.

 

So, basically, that is the song! I love the lyrics so much... And I cannot wait to sing them! They mean so much in my life, because they are so true to me and my life. And so, with every good days, I will embrace my rainbow. With every bad day, I feel the rain and look for the rainbow once again. Don't take what you have for granted, because you never know how long you have it... Never forget how good or bad things can be... For if you're going through bad, it's good to remember it will be better soon... and if you're going through good, it's humbling to remember how bad things could be, and it helps to be thankful for the good when you have it... Like they say, you don't know what you have until it's gone.
So for now, I'm looking at the new day ahead of me... I am going to do my best to see that rainbow, even if it does mean feeling the rain a little first... Both literally and metaphorically speaking, a little bit of rain may not be ideal or convenient, but in the end, we'll be thankful for it.... With rain, comes growth, and essentially, new life. What's wrong with that?
Nothing... And that's why I am feeling okay with that right now. Life will always be good. Whether it is easy or not doesn't determine whether it is worth living.
