Život može postati težak, užasno težak. Katkad te može pogoditi u dno duše. U takvim bolnim trenucima svaki čovjek traži utjehu. Bez utjehe čovjek ne može živjeti. Ali utjeha nije alkohol, ni tableta za smirenje, ni injekcija koja će te načas opiti a onda strovaliti u još srnju noć.
Utjeha je kao melem na bolnu ranu. Utjeha je kao neočekivana oaza u velikoj pustinji. Oaza ti daje da ponovno vjeruješ u život. Utjeha je poput umirujuće ruke na tvojoj glavi.
Utjeha je kao blago lice nekoga u tvojoj blizini tko shvaća tvoje suze, tko sluša tvoje izmučeno srce, tko ostaje uza te u tvom strahu i očaju i daje ti da ugledaš poneku zvijezdu.
Utjeha je Duh Božji. On ulazi u tebe kad su tvoja vrata otvorena i stavlja ti kao dar na stol "mir", "radost" i "ljubav" - darove s kojima možeš živjeti.
Meni osobno, najljepša je utjeha kad se osoba ne trudi previše s dubokoumnim savjetima, izrekama, svim mogućnostima i velikim riječima. Najljepša je utjeha kad je netko jednostavno tu. Prisutan. Sluša. I nastavi kao da ništa nije bilo. Bez osuđujućeg pogleda koji govori da si looser ili ti potvrđuje da si doživio osobni failure. Iako pogled kaže sve, slatke riječi nisu dobro rješenje. Osjeti se kad čovjek misli jedno a kaže drugo. Zato najviše volim kad se šuti i osjeća da te netko tješi svojom prisutnošću. Problem je jedino - gdje naći takvu osobu. Mislim da ju svatko ima ali ju treba prepoznati kao takvu...
A lonely mother gazing out of her window
Staring at her son that she just can't touch
If at any time he's in a jam
She'll be by his side
But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
But all the praying just ain't helpin'
At all 'cause he can't seem to keep
His self out of trouble
So he goes out and he makes his money
The best way he knows how
Another body laying cold in the gutter
Listen to me
Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that
You're used to
I know that you're gonna have it your way
Or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast
Little precious has a natural obsession
For temptation but he just can't see
She gives him loving that his body can't handle
But all he can say is baby is good to me
One day he goes and takes a glimpse
In the mirror
But he doesn't recognize his own face
His health is fading and he doesn't know why
3 letters took him to his final resting place
Y'all don't hear me
...
I seen a rainbow yesterday
But too many storms have come and gone
Leavin' a trace of not one God-given ray
You say because my life is ten shades of grey
I prey all ten fade away
Seldom praise Him for the sunny days
And like his promise is true
Only my faith can undo
The many chances I blew
To bring my life to anew
Clear blue and unconditional skies
Have dried the tears from my eyes
No more lonely cries
My only bleedin' hope
Is for the folk who can't cope
Wit such an endurin' pain
That it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain
Who's to blame
For tootin' caine in your own vein
What a shame
You shoot and aim for someone else's brain
You claim the insane
And name this day and time
For fallin' prey to crime
I say the system got you victim to your own mind
Dreams are hopeless aspirations
In hopes of comin' true
Believe in yourself
The rest is up to me and you
