A Song Can Move You

Gloria Today’s inspiration is a little different. For some reason I kept hearing this song in my mind yesterday and it’s one that moves me. Not just for the song itself which is beautiful, but because of the story of the woman who wrote and sings it.

In 1990 her tour bus was stuck by a tractor trailer and she sustained serious injuries. It was a near fatal accident where she broke her back. This is a woman who worked her way back to health through hard work. I find this song very inspiring as this is a woman who found positives out of what had to have been a very painful time.

Most of us have people we admire. Most of us have songs that move us. Take the time today to think of them. DO something that inspires you.

COMING OUT OF THE DARK (Gloria Estefan)

Why be afraid if I’m not alone?
Though life is never easy, the rest is unknown
Up to now, for me, it’s been hands against stone
Spent each and ev’ry moment
Searching for what to believe

(Chorus:)
Coming out of the dark
I finally see the light now
And it’s shining on me
Coming out of the dark
I know the love that saved me
You’re sharing with me

Starting again is part of the plan
And I’ll be so much stronger holding your hand
Step by step, I’ll make it through; I know I can
It may not make it easier
But I have felt you near all the way

(Repeat chorus)

(Bridge:)
Forever and ever, I stand on the rock of your love
Forever and ever, I’ll stand on the rock
Forever and ever, I stand on the rock of your love
Love is all it takes, no matter what we face

(Repeat chorus, ad lib, and fade)
