This was given to me today and I thought that I'd share with all of my friends here.  It applies to me so much in my situations but I know that there are many many more situations out there that could use just a little comfort.  Funny how a silly song can bring comfort, but I guess it's just one of the small gifts we're given in this life.  This song was recoreded by Anne Murray and written by Joie Scott and Richard Wold.  (my friend that gave me the song also said that it had been recorded by Madonna after 9/11 but I think i'll pass on that version lol).  ANYWAY the reason for my post was to share the lyrics so:

Through each lifetime – run rivers to cross

What if there’s no lifeline, and you’re sinking or lost?

Just believe in your direction

Let your heart explore.

Cause you can’t reach new horizons standing on the shore..

There are mountains we need to climb.

But the mountains standing in our way

Are only in our minds.

And the risk of going nowhere is the greatest risk of all.

So just listen to the voice that says

I’ll catch you if you fall

On the other side of doubt

Is faith.

On the other side of pain

Lies strength.

The journey may seem endless

When you know the road is rough,

But on the other side of fear

Is love.

For such a long time

I put my dreams aside.

The tides of change felt dangerous,

The mountains seemed too high.

But my dreams were slowly fading.

As time went quickly by.

So I took a breath with every step

Never knowing I would find

On the other side of doubt

Is faith.

On the other side of pain

Lies strength.

The journey may seem endless

When you know the road is rough,

But on the other side of fear

Is love.

Love to you all,
