“ If you can't fly, run. If you can't run, walk.
If you can't walk, crawl.
But by all means, keep moving.”
Martin Luther King, Jr.
On the drive into work this morning the following song played on the radio:
It has been a favorite of mine since MercyMe released it a couple of years ago. It just seemed perfect for a Monday (well, it's perfect for anytime). I arrived at work, opened my email, and the Martin Luther King, Jr. quote above was waiting for me.
I'm not about to give up
Because I heard you say
There's gonna be brighter days
There's gonna be brighter days
I won't stop, I'll keep my head up
No, I'm not here to stay
There's gonna be brighter days
There's gonna be brighter days
I just might bend but I won't break
As long as I can see your face
When life won't play along
And right keeps going wrong
And I can't seem to find my way
I know where I am found
So I won't let it drag me down
Oh, I'll keep dancing anyway
I'm gonna move (move)
I'm gonna move (move)
I'm gonna move
I've got to hold it steady
Keep my head in the game
Everything is about to change
Everything is about to change
This hurt is getting heavy
But I'm not about to cave
Everything's about to change
There's gonna be brighter days
I just might bend but won't break
As long as I can see your face
When life won't play along
And right keeps going wrong
And I can't seem to find my way
I know where I am found
So I won't let it drag me down
Oh, I'll keep dancing anyway
I'm gonna move (move)
I'm gonna move (move)
I'm gonna move
No matter what may come
Gotta move to a different drum
No matter what life brings
Gotta move gotta move to a different beat
I just might bend but won't break
As long as I can see your face
No matter what may come
Gotta move to a different drum
No matter what life brings
Gotta move gotta move to a different beat
