better days + world aids day

growing up i remember the holiday season being my favorite time of year. time hasn't changed that! i've been listening to christmas music for several weeks now from the classics of bing crosby to the warmth of john and karen carpenter to the inspiring words of the goo goo dolls. read these words from john rzeznick:

BETTER DAYS
And you ask me what I want this year
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And desire and love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

And it's someplace simple where we could live
And something only you can give
And thats faith and trust and peace while we're alive
And the one poor child that saved this world
And there's 10 million more who probably could
If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

I wish everyone was loved tonight
And somehow stop this endless fight
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again


in itunes, i have a christmas playlist. "better days" began playing and i couldn't help but think that today is world aids day. i couldn't help but think of the mothers who lose their children everyday to this disease and the millions of orphans that are left. they're our responsibility... at least in some part. i have hope in the good people of this world. click here to find out more about world aids day and the wonderful, local organization that is leading a great work. happy christmas to everyone and may we find better days.
