Projects Possible

When I first heard this song I was moved by the simple yet powerful lyrics.  Everyone wants to heard, everyone wants to be understood and everyone wants to be loved! 

We often times get so wrapped up in our day to day lives that we forget that there are people we come into contact with each day that are struggling and may be reaching out.  They need someone to listen, to hear what they are going through and perhaps even empathize with them. 

 I had someone tell me once that we are all like small pieces in a huge jigsaw puzzle we call life. As we try to arrange the chaos that surroungs us, we reach out to those near us and interlock our lives with theirs.  Gradually all the pieces come togehter…one after another OUR picture starts to form.

If you think about who you interact with, you will likely think of spouses, children and close friends but as the scope becomes larger, individuals become communities, communities become states, states become nations, and nations become the world.

Use this anthem as a reminder to reach out.  Reach out to those who need you, or do the reaching out if you feel you need a little help.

Don’t Give Up - You are Loved 

Don’t give up
It’s just the weight of the world
When your heart’s heavy, I
I will lift it for you
Don’t give up
Because you want to be heard

If silence keeps you, I
I will break it for you
Everybody wants to be understood
Well I can hear you
Everybody wants to be loved
Don’t give up
Because you are loved

Don’t give up
It’s just the hurt
That you hide
When you’re lost inside, I
I’ll be there to find you

Don’t give up
Because you want to burn bright
If darkness blinds you I
I will shine to guide you

Everybody wants to be understood
Well I can hear you
Everybody wants to be loved
Don’t give up
Because you are loved

You are loved

Don’t give up
It’s just the weight of the world

Don’t give up
Everyone needs to be loved

You are loved
