For someone like me, who wants nothing more than to live in a world where beauty and reason are synonymous, the reality of having so much that is beyond my control just leaves me longing. Longing for something…
The God reference notwithstanding, I find there is genuine wisdom in that prayer. And I can even relate to those who seek inspiration from the heavens, considering the mixed and confusing messages we so often get here on Earth…

All of which leaves me, still, looking for something I can hold onto…
Allie Moss – Something To Hold Onto
You give me something to hold on to
I hear your voice and it quiets my mind
Every beautiful melody
Every perfect, piercing line
You give me something to hold on to
You are a vessel of light to me tonight
And while I wrestle with demons and appetites
I cling to you
You give me something to hold on to
You tell the stories I need you to tell
Something in the way you sing
Pulls me out of my lonely hell
You give me something to hold on to
Sing to me
Sing to me, sing to me
Your melancholy songs
Sing to me, sing to me
And I will hold on

The one prayer that speaks to me. Leave out the “God,” as I do, and it’s still a great personal mantra.

I agree PT, which is why I opted not to denigrate the second and third verses as I was tempted to. 😀
