Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own ~ U2

The last few months were tough for me physically and emotionally. Yesterday, on the day I finally found peace and resolve, I ran across this song and the lyrics completely connected with my experience. One of my many truths that brought me back to light, is that I don't have to make it alone. Also, the second I let go of past hurt, stopped fighting, stopped trying to being right, and allowed others to help lift me up in the moments that I needed it most, I was brought back to calm, peace and serenity.

Those who have the ability to be calm, peaceful and serene through a hard or difficult time, who see things clearly as they are, are the luckiest people in the world. I have rarely met such a person in my life... it's precious and a gift. So is the realization that the connectivity and help amongst and between people is a joy. I strive and inspire to one day be identified as a person who is calm, peaceful and serene regardless of my circumstances.

Enjoy the lyrics and acoustic version of an amazing song.

Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
U2

Tough, you think you've got the stuff
You're telling me and anyone
You're hard enough

You don't have to put up a fight
You don't have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

We fight all the time
You and I...that's alright
We're the same soul
I don't need...I don't need to hear you say
That if we weren't so alike
You'd like me a whole lot more

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

I know that we don't talk
I'm sick of it all
Can - you - hear - me - when - I -
Sing, you're the reason I sing
You're the reason why the opera is in me...

Where are we now?
I've still got to let you know
A house still doesn't make a home
Don't leave me here alone...

And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you that makes it hard to let go
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Sometimes you can't make it
The best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can't make it on your own

Fifteen books you've read that will always stick with you.

Don't take too long to think about it. Fifteen books you've read that will always stick with you. First fifteen you can recall in no more than 15 minutes. Tag 15 friends, including me.

Probably in no particular order, except in that they are the order I think of them, and hence that probably says something about me.

3. Little House on the Prairie series
4. The Bible
