It comes and goes in waves I am only led to wonder why Why I try

Artist- Greg Laswell
Song of the day- Comes and Goes in waves

I seem to be one of those times in my life where god shits on your head. Now before getting completely offended by this statement let me explain. It comes from a while back where my friend was having an already bad time of it and then as she was walking her dog a bird pooped on her head. Probably outraged by life at this point, I tried to explain to her that maybe it was god trying to get her attention. That all this stuff was happening cuz god was trying to teach her something, show something, reveal something. Like the more she tried and tried to makes things work out there was a reason they weren't. Refusing to accept it we keep plowing on trying to work it out on our own and then god shows you who is boss...he shits on your head. perhaps this doesn't make sense and is only humorous to myself, but this is the best way to describe how I've been feeling lately. I don't know the reasons why, I don't know the lessons behind it, those usually come in hindsight anyways. And truthfully instead of looking for the lesson I get caught up in the feelings, the trying to survive it, the just trying to make it through the storm of poo. But that way it only subsides for a while and makes me think of this song. The same friend can always tell when I'm caught in the middle of my own storm and will ask me if I'm okay, if I'm sad. And the only thing I can seem to muster up as a response is "sometimes" as if more words than that would engulf me in a typhoon. At least our way it comes and goes in waves, but the lesson god will forever continue to teach me is to ride the wave. to not run from the storm but let it pour down on top of you. To keep trying when you don't want to. To keep loving when you lose the reasons, to keep believing when you forget how to. To stop fighting and to let go and let the storm take you where it's leading, till every so called wrong turn drops you right where you were always supposed to be. Perhaps it seems like too much optimism. But looking back on previous storms it's always amazing what I learn and what was waiting for me on the other side of it. So here's to your storm and your waves, may your ride it, may you wipe out, and may it carry you to shore.



This one's for the lonely
The ones that seek and find
Only to be let down
Time after time

This one's for the torn down
The experts at the fall
Come on friends get up now
You're not alone at all

And this part was for her
This part was for her
This part was for her
Does she remember?

It comes and goes in waves, i....

This one's for the faithless
The ones that are surprised
They are only where they are now
Regardless of their fight

This one's for believing
If only for it's sake
Come on friends get up now

Love is to be made

And this part was for her
This part was for her
This part was for her
Does she remember?

It comes and goes in waves,
I am only led to wonder why
It comes and goes in waves
I am only led to wonder why
Why I try

This is for the ones who stand
For the ones who try again
For the ones who need a hand
For the ones who think they can

It comes and goes in waves,
I am only led to wonder why
It comes and goes in waves
I am only led to wonder why
Why I try
