It seems like a lifetime ago that someone gave me this song. But, the effects of the words and the sentiment have never diminished. Yesterday… yesterday had some moments that had me reaching down deep to touch my center, to ensure that what I knew as the truth of Fury was holding fast. Then, I again listened to these words that from the first moment I heard them, became my mantra. They became one of the reminders I keep close for those moments that well…
As it was given to me, I pass it on to you. I pray in those instances that may hurt or confuse it helps to strengthen and bring you peace. Love.

And though it’s simple your idea, it won’t make sense to everybody
You need courage now If you’re gonna persevere.
