powerful words

tonight, as i sat in the audience of Disneys Broadway, The Lion King (for the second time in the last 2 weeks mind you -  absolutely fantastic show) i was superfluously hit by the power of the song 'Endless Night'. Simba cries out in desperation to Mufasa's memory -

You promised you'd be there, Whenever I needed you!!

so many birthmothers are feeling lost, empty and/or hurting tonight, for a plethora of reasons.

my heart aches for you, for i, personally, am at peace, and oh how sweet it is. oh how i wish i could bestow that peace on those who feel that they are without.  I hope that someone out there somewhere, somehow, can feel my hug as you read/listen to these lyrics.
There is hope, the sun will rise.

heres a video of a performance on the Rosie O'Donnell show from back in the nineties.
here's the amazing powerful lyrics.

Where has the starlight gone?
Dark is the day
How can I find my way home?

Home is an empty dream
Lost to the night
Father, I feel so alone

You promised you'd be there
Whenever I needed you
Whenever I call your name
You're not anywhere

I'm trying to hold on
Just waiting to hear your voice
One word, just a word will do
To end this nightmare

When will the dawning break
Oh endless night
Sleepless I dream of the day

When you were by my side
Guiding my path
Father, I can't find the way

You promised you'd be there
Whenever I needed you
Whenever I call your name
You're not anywhere

I'm trying to hold on
Just waiting to hear your voice
One word, just a word will do
To end this nightmare

I know that the night must end
And that the sun will rise
I know that the clouds must clear
And that the sun will shine

I know
Yes, I know
The sun will rise
The clouds must clear

I know that the night must end
I know that the sun will rise
And I'll hear your voice deep inside

I know that the night must end
And that the clouds must clear
The sun will rise
