Song That Saved My Life

When I first went to SW High school I thought everything was going to be cool New school, new life Everything was supposed to be alright But it wasn’t much different from GP high I knew the problem was me And why I always get talked about and teased Girls get jealous of my beauty and personality That was something I knew but didn’t want to believe I try to stay humble There is always somebody better than me I would pray every day and every night Thought about cutting myself with a knife Was still making bad grades Couldn’t focus no matter how hard I tried Distractions every day I would get frustrated, go to the bathroom and cry The problems I have at home wouldn’t help Gave up in life and wanted to kill myself Just when I planned to commit suicide The song by Shawn Mullins come on called Lullaby. I guess God heard my cry Song played on the radio and saved my life I thank God I made it and I’m alive

I think our ancestors, angels and spirit guides send us our unique radio songs; electronics is something they are highly good at manipulating. I doubt that any of us hear the same song at the same time. This poem reminded me of that. Glad you are okay.

I am not familiar with the song that I know of but if it helped save you then it must be a good song. It is amazing how music can touch us and transform us. Your wonderful speaks on this subject nicely.
