For Mom

I love, love, love this song, Hang On Little Tomato by Pink Martini, it always makes me feel better when I feel sad and blue. Sometimes I hum it to myself when I'm at school and I didn't have time to sleep the previous night because I was writing a paper or finishing a piece of art or reading an assignment and all I really want to do is go home and take a nap. Sometimes I sing it at home when I feel tired and have to keep plugging away at homework or I have to clean the house or do a mountain of dishes that I've let pile up and all I'd rather do is sleep for the next 10 years. Music has always helped me feel better and I hope it makes you feel better too. Always remember that there are people who love you and know how wonderful you are.
The sun has left and forgotten me
It's dark, I cannot see
Why does this rain pour down
I'm gonna drown
In a sea
Of deep confusion

Somebody told me, I don't know who
Whenever you are sad and blue
And you're feelin' all alone and left behind
Just take a look inside you and you'll find

You gotta hold on, hold on through the night
Hang on, things will be all right
Even when it's dark
And not a bit of sparkling
Sing-song sunshine from above
Spreading rays of sunny love

Just hang on, hang on to the vine
Stay on, soon you'll be divine
If you start to cry, look up to the sky
Something's coming up ahead
To turn your tears to dew instead

And so I hold on to this advice
When change is hard and not so nice
If you listen to your heart the whole night through
Your sunny someday will come one day soon to you
