Calling all angels..

Aug 25, 2011

I recently downloaded some music for my sister and was listening to one of the tunes:  "Calling All Angels" by a group called Train.  I had heard this on the radio before & thought it was pretty cool but when I really listened to the words, it hit home.

I need a sign to let me know you're here
All of these lines are being crossed over the atmosphere.
I need to know that things are gonna look up,
Cause I feel us drowning in a sea spilled from a cup.

This summer has been extremely rough for me:  I finally ended a long-term relationship that in reality took its last gasp about two years ago; I've been trying without success to get promoted or transferred at work; I'm in a cat fight with my insurance company over approval for a sleeve.  Add to the mix an unrequited attraction (plus the crappy economy and usual national and world turmoils) and it's a perfect recipe for tear-your-hair-out-cry-self-to-sleep kind of frustration. The kind that makes you look up to the heavens and raise your arms and say "PLEASE cut me a break, ANY kind of break!!"

And then I hear this song. 

And I'm calling all angels.

I won't give up if you don't give up...

OK, I won't give up.  I will keep going.  What doesn't kill us makes us tougher, right? 

I need a reason for the way things have to be,
I need a hand to help build up some kind of hope inside of me.
And I'm calling all angels.

So angels, consider yourself called.  Keep me going in all of this.  Keep me pushing for "yes" when all I hear is no, and give me the strength and confidence to hold my head up.  Don't let me lose hope, and don't let me stop thinking that things WILL change for the better.  All I gotta do is hold on.

I won't give up if you don't give up.
