When I Think Back on All Those Disappointments...
I Just Laugh.
(I know you do...)
I Just Laugh!
When the River Was Deep, I Didn't Falter.
When the Mountain was High, I Still Believed!
When the valley was low, it didn't stop me...
I knew you were waiting, knew you were waiting for me.
Like a warrior that fights, and wins the battle:.
I know the taste of victory.
Though I went through some nights consumed by the shadows
and was crippled emotionally...
Somehow I made it through the heartache.
(Yes I did.) I escaped!
I found my way out of the darkness, kept my faith...
Kept my faith!
When the River Was Deep, I Didn't Falter.
When the Mountain was High, I Still Believed!
When the valley was low, it didn't stop me...
I knew you were waiting, knew you were waiting for me

Congratulations to all the voters who got out there this year and said their piece: It was like a Hands-Across-America moment, but not media-orchestrated and involving something that really mattered, although this is the most issue-less discussed campaign I have ever seen, with so little of the contentious discussion actually discussing the issues that concern the majority of American men and women.
(Sexual harassment in the workplace is a verry bad thing, and we obviously need to do a better job of training our professional class of women about how to object when boundaries are overstepped and unwelcome advances made. This, however, is not a major issue facing the majority of the working women and men in this country, and ought not have been cynically placed as a national security issue. Emails on private computers where at least one party did not know who exactly he was corresponding with... that's another issue. Did the official FBI investigation ever get to the bottom of how the duplicate emails got on the Weiner's personal email? You'd think there would be more transparency to the American people about the basic results of the taxpayer-financed investigation, but that was old Washington at work...)
Donald, Ronald...
It truly feels like a New Morning in America these past days, and I am certain the children acting out in the streets will settle down soon and accept the fair results of their countrymen and women. The media made a big deal out on the Stones song, "You Can't Always Get What You Want..." as President-elect Trump closed his acceptance speech early Wednesday morning.
They forget the rest of the song lyrics at play, the good stuff:
You Can't Always Get What You Want...
You Can't Always Get What You Want...
But If You'd TRY SOMETIME, well you just might find...
You Get What You Need.
(oh yeah...)
God Bless All those in coming days, who comprehend the full chorus...
