Don’t Stop Believin’

If you wake up and don’t want to smile
If it takes just a little while
Open your eyes and look at the day
You’ll see things in a different wayDon’t stop thinking about tomorrow
Don’t stop, it’ll soon be here
It’ll be here better than before
Yesterday’s gone, yesterday’s goneWhy not think about times to come?
And not about the things that you’ve done?
If your life was bad to you
Just think what tomorrow will do

All I want is to see you smile
If it takes just a little while
I know you don’t believe that it’s true
I never meant any harm to you

Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow
Don’t stop, it’ll soon be here
It’ll be here better than before
Yesterday’s gone, yesterday’s goneDon’t you look back

I really hesitated with including the last part of this song…”Don’t look back” because today’s message reminds us that when we look back we can see how far we have come. We can see everything we have overcome. We can see that we had no idea this is where we would be today. It has us look back as a frame of reference to encourage us to look FORWARD with confidence and excitement. No matter how young or old we are we are reminded that tomorrow is full of opportunities and promise for us to pursue.

That is the HOPE. and so it is.
