My Hospital Song

Going through a transition, a message escaped from the sounds of a cd...well, more like relativity in its own perspective.
While in the hospital, my stepsister, Melissa handed me a cd.
"I hope you like Jack Johnson", she said.
I actually do. I was thrilled to have his new cd, simply because i always considered him mellow and comforting, and these were two things i needed at this moment...
And then I listened to the first song...and the lyrics jumped out at me. This song was the soundtrack to everything that was happening "all at once"...my theme song...because in truth, I really thought i was going to die...
and these are the words that describes everything i was feeling in those horrific moments...
"All at once
the world can't overwhelm me
There's almost nothin' that you could tell me
that could ease my mind
Which way will you run?
When it's always all around you
and the feelin' lost and found you again
A feelin'that we have no control
Around the sun

Some say
it's gonna be
The new hell
Some say
It's still too early to tell
Some sayIt really
Ain't no myth at all
We keep asking ourselves
Are we reallyStrong enough?
There's so many things
That we got too proud of
I wanna take the preconceived
Out from underneath your feet
We could shake it off
and instead we'll plant some seeds
We'll watch them as they grow
And with each new beat
From your heart
The roots grow deeper
The branches
well they reach for what?
Nobody really knows
But underneath it all
There's this heart
All alone
What about when it's gone?
And it really won't be so long
Sometimes it feels like a heart
Is no place to be singin' from at all
There's a world we've never seen
There's still hope between the dreams
The weight of it all
Could blow away with a breeze
But if your waitin on the wind
Don't forget to breathe
because as the darkness
Gets deeper
We're sinking
so we reach for love
At least something

We could hold
But i'll reach to you
From where time just can't go
What about when it's gone
And it really won't be so long
Sometimes it feels like a heart
Is no place to be singingFrom at all"
............................................Jack Johnson
