Comes To The Light (Everything) by Jill Scott

Comes To The Light (Everything) by Jill Scott
Current mood: numb

Since, I'm on a Jill Scott rush...here's a nice, simple song called "Comes to the Light" below...just her full, rich voice, a guitar & some piano/ a two piece accompaniment. I'm confessing now that it perfectly describes my state of mind at this moment - "Mas o menos"/ More or less. I've been pushing hard on a situation for about a good 24 hours...a great friend (you know who are), gave me some good solid advice tonight over the phone. This friend gave me the metaphor of trying to get a mattress to fit in a Mini Cooper...nothing wrong with the mattress & there's nothing wrong with the car but what I'm carrying (the mattress) can't possibly fit in the vehicle (the Cooper) I want to use no matter how I try to push that mattress in the back seat, it's not going to budge...

So, this friend was using the things I carry, the things I have to offer sometimes just doesn't fit the type of oppurtunity that comes 1st, it's just not the right one & it isn't meant to be...so, maybe I have to wait for the next thing b/c maybe everything will just fall in place & play itself out...that I have to let go & trust that the right situation will eventually come to me...that I don't need to push too hard b/c people do care about me...those are my trust issues popping up...I have to take a gamble ...right...she used another simple to the point metaphor...just b/c I had one nightmare in my life doesn't mean I ever stop dreaming good dreams...point taken/ 'nuff said...

I have to be gentle with myself...I think maybe it's our culture or the feeling that I need instant gratification & I want some forward motion in SOMETHING in my life...I'm having a bit of an inner struggle of what I expect of myself...what my abilities are in all areas but tonight's phone call is a start & it's helping me b/c this friend was non-judgemental; they took themselves out of it, even though I'm acting really, really irrascible... no brush off, no, "well, I've got problems of my own, girlie...just deal with it on your own...listen to my problemos numero uno, dos, tres...", then we start talking about the other person's problem instead of mine. Strange how people think that helps me when really it focuses on them...I see that maneuver all da' time...hmmmm, I cut off people today when they tried to do that...I didn't deserve it; I should've been at least listened to. Anyway, ahhhh, that call was the remedy call that I needed - a lucid/ impartial mind who always gives me great advice...it was good, again, can I just say it bluntly, a real friend giving me just kick a _ _ advice...no bullshit, no judgements, just whole-heartedly listening to me with no doubt...Anyway, I think most of my true friends are so much more wiser/ smarter/ wittier/ more understanding than me...anyway, this friend was... I hope I have been the same in the past & can reciprocate their good advice in the future...

Thanks mattress/ Mini-Cooper metaphor spouting friend! ;) Mil gracias, te amo...

Here comes the song, I put a link to the wma file, too if you've never heard of it...enjoy & good night...

Song: Comes To Light (Everything) Lyrics by Jill Scott

[Verse 1:]
I can’t hold it in, forever
Eventually, I have to breathe
Done
Hit a lie behind a lie
Behind the wall
Now it’s crashing in on me
How did I let it get this far (ooh)
How did I make this wrong turn (oh)
How do I change the thing I’ve done?
(I don’t know)
Only one lesson learned

[Chorus:]
Comes to the light, comes to the light
(Everything)
Comes to the light, comes to the light
Comes to the light, comes to the light
(Everything)
Comes to the light, comes to the light

[Verse 2:]
I can’t pretend this hurts
(It hurts)
Deeper than I
Imagined
What I did to a friend (So Sorry)

[Vamp:]
I can’t take it back in
How could I do a thing like that?
(I don’t know)
Where was my conscience at?
(Somebody tell me, Tell me)
And did I really play my part?
(I know I did)
Now tell me where the healing starts….
(Oh)

[Chorus:]
Comes to the light, comes to the light
(Everything)
Comes to the light, comes to the light
Comes to the light, comes to the light
(Everything)
Comes to the light, comes to the light

[Bridge:]
Make it stop (Make it stop)
Make it fade
Make it go away (Make it go away)
Let the pain go away
Make it fade (Make it fade)
Make it fade outta my mind
Make it sail away, sail away
(Sail away sail away)

[Chorus:]
Comes to the light, comes to the light
(Everything)
Comes to the light, comes to the light
Comes to the light, comes to the light
(Everything)
Comes to the light, comes to the light

[Out:]
Comes to the light, comes to the light
(Repeat ‘Til Fade)
