Are We Stronger?

The days go by too quickly. It's hard to believe how much of my 'to do' list doesn't get done. Some days it's hard to believe everything that has transpired - at times I feel defeated and sometimes I amazing myself with my strength. For the last few weeks, as the sun goes down, only one song comes to mind. These lyrics are amazing, and Diana Krall's performance is even more amazing. If you have a chance, she will be performing in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on July 16th at 6pm at the Riverside BallRoom. To learn more about Diana, visit her site: http://www.dianakrall.com/news.aspx

And now for those touching lyrics that ring oh so true and sometimes bring a tear to my eye:

Narrow daylight entered my room

shining hours were brief

winter is over

summer is near

are we stronger than we believe

I walked through halls of reputation

among the infamous too

as the camera clings to the common thread

beyond all vanity

into a gaze to shoot you through

Is the kindness we count upon

hidden in everyone?

I stepped out in a sunlit grove

although deep down I wished it would rain

washing away all the sadness and tears

that will never fall so heavily again

Is the kindness we count upon

hidden in everyone?

I stood there in the salt spray air

felt wind sweeping over my face

I ran up through the rocks to the old wooden cross

it's a place where I can find some peace

Narrow daylight entered my room

shining hours were brief

winter is over summer is near

are we stronger than we believe?
