Dig In

"If I step on your toes, maybe it's just because you refuse to dance." - Shawna Ray

This heavy load has been thrown in my lap
And a part of me laughs
Should've seen this coming
I still don't know what I should do next?
Throw my hands what the heck?
Well I'm not the one to give up like that!

Dig in, dig in
Do what I can
Dig in dig in
Look for the good
Dig in, dig in
Keep on moving
The road won't end
As long as you can turn
And wake up to see the sun rise again

With all this crap, there's a pony somewhere
I will find it I swear
Diamonds come from coal -right?
It might be rough but I'm finding my way
At the end of the day
I can hold my head up high and say I tried

Dig in, dig in
Do what I can
Dig in dig in
Look for the good
Dig in, dig in
Keep on moving
The road won't end
As long as you can turn
And wake up to see the lesson you learned

Lighten up
Lighten up
Lift it up and let the excess fall away
What you need will stay

Dig in, dig in
Do what you can
Dig in dig in
Look for the good
Dig in, dig in
Keep on moving
The road won't end
As long as you can turn
And wake up to see the sun rise again
See this mess start making sense
When the dust finally clears
And you get there it will be worth it

Dig in, dig in
Do what you can
Dig in dig in
Look for the good
Dig in, dig in
Keep on movin
Keep on living
Keep on laughing
Keep on looking for the Sun...

Pull Through

(For Susan, Bryn, Lou, Diane

and other friends who have battled cancer and other life challenges)

Watching you go through this pain
Feels so unjust; does not make sense
You hold your head up high and try
To smile and laugh and say...
There is no way out but through
You are strong and resolute
Lean on me if you need anything
To help you on this journey
I know you - will - pull through

Hands of time are ticking loud
The room is still, we're in a fog
You have always been a rock
We're wrapped up in a hug, you say...
There's no way out but through
You are strong and resolute
Lean on me if you need anything
To help you on this journey
I know you - will - pull through

The body is fragile
Handle with care
Life is so fragile
Handle with prayer

I hear you say you'll be OK
If this path leads to Heaven's gates
And that thought makes us cry
I am tired of asking why
I know you'll  be all right
Either way...
There's no way out but through
You are strong and resolute
Lean on me if you need anything
To help you on this journey
I know you - are loved

I know you are tough!

You have taught us all so much

I know you - will - pull through
