his lyric of Lynne’s struck home to me.
It’s about the devastating effect that loss can have upon us, and how that grief over a loss can almost destroy us.
Almost, for we have to find the strength to overcome the deadly feeling of loss, and to recover our former selves.
Indeed, we can be even stronger if we turn things around and make the negative into a positive.
But, it is still a bitter pill to swallow, and so when we overcome the loss, we are changed.
lyrics
My today is gonna be better
My today is gonna be better than it was yesterday,
When I was drowning in my sorrow, drowning in my pain.
Oh I was weak and weary, would not pray for strength,
Lost my faith along the way, giving the Lord some blame.
But, my today is gonna be better than it was yesterday,
‘Cause I’m standing up and fighting, for the light of a brand new day.
I’m reaching out to glory, taking back my faith,
So my day is gonna be brighter, than it was yesterday.
