We have a slew of Russia songs, many of which are featured on the playlist below. There is one, though, that feels as if it was written for our kids. Even our 2 1/2 year old nephew, the most joyful Clark, seems to count it as his favorite song--he listens to it over and over and over again and feels it through his whole being. It encompasses everything: sorrow, empathy, hope, our deepest gut-wrenched prayers. We don't really do the 'fixing,' but this explains some whys of what we do.
We wanted to share it with you.
Coldplay's Fix YouWhen you try your best but you don't succeed, when you get what you want but not what you need, when you feel so tired but you can't sleep, stuck in reverse . . .
And the tears come streaming down your face when you lose something that you can't replace,
When you love someone but it goes to waste . . .
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home and ignite your bones. And I will try to fix you.
High up above or down below, when you're too in love to let it go, but if you never try you'll never know just what you're worth.
Lights will guide you home and ignite your bones. And I will try to fix you.
Tears stream down your face when you lose something you cannot replace . . .
Tears stream down your face and I . . .
Tears stream down your face, I promise you I will learn from my mistakes . .
Tears stream down your face, and I . . .
Lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
and I will try to fix you.
