My random thoughts and perceptions on the world

So, I have been in somewhat of a depressed and sappy mood lately. There is a song by one of my favorite artist, Patti LaBelle, that has just summed it up completely. It has a special meaning to me because it was sung at a relative's funeral...so I can't help but get a little depressed when I hear it, but at the same time it's an uplifting song. Check out the lyrics below. I promise, it'll touch you (not as much as actually hearing her sing it with that certain emotion that only she can put into a song, but it will still touch you).

"I Can't Complain"

Sometimes, I can't help thinking,
just what my life is for,
I try to do very best that I can,
yet I know I can do more.

This life i lead is not one without its pain,
That doesn't mean i shouldn't smile, nothing there to gain.

I can't complain,
I know the sun shines through the rain,
It still survives,
I can't complain,
everyday is a new begining,
in this journey of my life,
Journey of my life.

I've done just as i've desired
Lived on wire without a net
Been so many places
I've seen so many faces
Beautiful friends i will never forget.

Sometimes I look above and think i wanna give it up
Then I remember all the lives that i have touched

I can't complain,
I know the sun shines through the rain,
It still survives,
I can't complain,
everyday is a new begining,
in this journey of my life,
Journey of my life.

So many yesterdays have come and gone their way.
Love leads me striaght and clear into the light of day.

I can't complain,
I know the sun shines through the rain,
It still survives,
I can't complain,
everyday is a new begining,
in this journey of my life,
Journey of my life.

I'm not the only one who's learned to try again,
And through it all I've got my family and friends,
So I can't complain...
