Carry on
Down the long road
Eyes focused on what is front of you
Colors of red and blue
They are calling you to
Carry on
Down the long road
Foot pressed on the gas
As you pass on
Carry on
At last
It seems
You are making your way through
The future awaiting you
Seems to draw near
But you can never reach it if you stay here
So you must carry on
Colors calling you
Yellow
And orange
And green
Indigo
And violet too
Colors
That move you
To press on
Leaving behind the weight
The shame
The pain
The rain
It was only a force
Used to carry you forth
Forward into purpose
Forward into destiny
Carry on
Down the long road
Toward the promise awaiting

When there is gloom all around you it is easy for your eyes to fall. Feel lost, consumed by what is dark. But I encourage you to try to find the light. There is always a reminder that there is light. There are times when the light is obvious, nothing to block our view of what is bright. Then there are times when we must look a little harder, for a sign of light-a small glow from the sun managing to peak through the heavy clouds in the sky. Truth is, there are times when the storm is too dark, the clouds too heavy for the light to shine through. But even at the end of the worst storms, there is still a rainbow. The reminder that even in the darkest storms, the sun is still there.
