Dance With Adversity
A friend of mine, Sherry, is a nurse/manager of group homes for the mentally and physically disabled.This is her song, I wrote in admiration of her divine attitude.
Dance with Adversity, - Sherry’s Song
Suffering exits,
to be overcome
to be integrated,
transformed,
and made into fun.
It’s like a dance,
with adversity.
It beckons me step up.
And I can’t resist.
It’s my life,
and my song
(refrain)
Oh I see the suffering,
and I feel the suffering.
I want to make it better,
because it brings me joy.
I feel it’s my purpose,
to dance with adversity,
and turn all the straw
into gold.
So many people,
looking for happiness
outside of themselves
not knowing
that they have it
they block out the blessings
and see only
what’s wrong.
When I see
so many empty souls
I want them all to understand,
they are not hopeless
they are not hopeless . . .
Take my hand,
let’s dance.
(refrain)
So many people
so many people
looking for happiness
outside of themselves
they are not hopeless
they are not hopeless.
Take my hand
let’s dance,
let’s dance. . .
Dance with adversity,
all through the night.
Until I see the sun
come up in your eyes.
Let's Dance.
with adversity.
All through the night.
Until I see the sun
come up in your eyes.
