I thought I would include some lyrics to songs which really resonate with me as I’m going through this journey. I’ll keep adding more as I come across them and have time to type them out! Please feel free to comment with titles of other songs that have resonated with you during your journey!
Went away one summer
Came back with a secret
She just couldn’t keep
A child inside her
Was just too much for her
So she cried herself to sleep.
And she made a decision
Some find hard to accept
To young to know that one day
She might live to regret.
But I would die for that
Just to have one chance
To hold in my hands
All that she had
I would die for that.
I’ve been given so much
A husband that I love
So why do I feel incomplete?
With every test and checkup
We’re told not to give up
He wonders if it’s him
And I wonder if it’s me.
All I want is a family
Like everyone else I see
And I won’t understand it
If it’s not meant to be.
Cause I would die for that
Just to have one chance
To hold in my hands
All that they have
I would die for that.
And I want to know what it’s like
To bring a dream to life
For that kind of love
What I’d give up!
I would die for that.
Sometimes it’s hard to conceive
With all that I’ve got
And all I’ve achieved
What I want most
Before my time is gone
Is to hear the words
“I love you, Mom.”
I would die for that
Just to have once chance
To hold in my hands
What so many have
I would die for that.
And I want to know what it’s like
To bring a dream to life
How I would love
I would die, I would die for that…
Sweet Silver Lining – Kate Voegele
Well I’m going/home/downhearted and hoping/I’m close/to some new beginning/I know/there’s a reason for everything/that comes and goes
but so many people are looking to me/to be strong and to fight/but I’m just surviving/and I may be weak but I’m never defeated/and I’ll keep believing/in clouds with that sweet silver lining
most days/i try/my best to put on a brave face/but inside/my bones are cold and my heart breaks/but all the while/something’s keeping me safe/and alive
but so many epople are looking to me/to be strong and to fight/but i’m just surviving/and I may be weak but I’m never defeated/and I’ll keep believing/in clouds with that sweet silver lining
and I won’t give up like this/I will be given strength/now that I’ve found it/nothing can take it away
Lift Me Up – Kate Voegele
this road is anything but simple/twisted like a riddle/I’ve seen high and I’ve seen low
so loud, the voices of all my doubts/telling me to give up/to pack up and leave town
but even so I had to believe/impossible means nothing to me
so can you lift me up?/and turn the ashes into flames/cause I have overcome/more than words will ever say/and I’ve been given hope/that there’s a light on up the hall/and that a day will come when the fight is won/and I think that day has just begun
somewhere, everybody starts there/counting on a small prayer/lost in a nightmare
but I’m here and suddenly it’s so clear/the struggle through the long years/it taught me to outrun my fears
and everything that’s worth having/comes with trials worth withstanding
oh lift me up, oh lift me up, oh lift me up/oh lift me up, oh lift me up, oh lift me up/down and out is overrated/I need to be elevated/looking up is not enough/I would rather rise above
Slipped Away – Avril Lavigne
Na na, na na na, na na
I miss you,/Miss you so bad/I don’t forget you,/Oh it’s so sad
I hope you can hear me/I remember it clearly/The day you slipped away/Was the day I found it won’t be the same/Ooooohhh
Na na, na na na, na na
I didn’t get around to kiss you/Goodbye on the hand/I wish that I could see you again/I know that I can’t/Oooooohhh
I hope you can hear me/Cause I remember it clearly/The day you slipped away/Was the day I found it won’t be the same/Oooooohhh
I had my wake up/Won’t you wake up/I keep asking why
And I can’t take it/It wasn’t fake/It happened, you passed by
Now you are gone, now you are gone/There you go, there you go/Somewhere you’re not coming back
The day you slipped away/Was the day I found it won’t be the same/The day you slipped away/Was the day that I found won’t be the same
Na na, na na na, na na
I miss you.
