Everything In Its Time
- Corrinne May

Sometimes I wonder what lies ahead
How long till my hunger is fed
They say it's hard to make it in this part of town
So many people on this merry-go-round

Some folks try astrology
Some turn to crystal balls
To find an answer,
To get through it all
I just fall on my knees and I try to pray
In the silence I can hear Him say

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign
Everything in its time

I often feel like I'm two steps behind
Somebody must have moved that finish line
There are a thousand reasons
Why I should give up
But I'm stubborn in the things I believe

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign

'cause maybe there's another plan
One I still can't see
A little surprise, like your love in my life
Funny how time changes how we see

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign
Everything in its time

i remembered i first heard this song at esplanade when corrinne may was having some performance at the open air theatre thingy and i thought it's such a meaningful song. i'm not really a fan of local english singers cos i feel the lyrics of most of their songs are pretty cheesy (think taufik), but i think corrinne may's songs are pretty good and they have a nice soothing tune to it. or maybe cos most of her songs have godly connotations to it so listening to them can be rather comforting especially on a day like this where i'm feeling down and out. and no, it's not pms. it's just an unexplainable gloomy feeling looming over my head. or maybe it's just monday blues. or maybe cos i just had a rather negative conversation with the bf. or maybe cos my parents are flying off tmr and i'm gonna miss them. or maybe it's just work. or maybe cos i just had a bad haircut and my ponytail looks stubby like a rabbit's tail. or maybe cos i'm hungry but it's too late to eat anything. i feel like i'm just rambling on.

oh well.

tomorrow will be a better day (i hope).

5 more weeks to my block leave. i desperately need a holiday. but i'll probably end up spending my holiday in boring, old singapore.

sigh. i think i need to go back to church. i feel kinda empty. i haven't gone for any service for like..almost a year? yikes.

bahhhh.
