Embracing Life's Rhythms: Melissa Manchester's Good News
Lyrics
I was looking out the window just this morning.
I observed the outside world through the window this morning.
Wasn't finding inspiration in my bed.
I couldn't find inspiration while in bed.
I was wondering if all this was a warning,
I questioned if current circumstances were a warning.
'Cause I'd rather waste the day than work instead.
Preferably, I would waste the day than engage in work.
It's been quite a while since I could feel my heart beat.
It has been a while since I felt alive and passionate.
I appreciate you offering me yours,
While I appreciate your heart, I must follow my own.
But I got to use my own and let it guide me.
I must rely on my own heart to guide me home.
It's the only thing to get me home for sure.
My heart is the only certainty to lead me home.
Let's hear some good news for the lady.
Let's celebrate positive developments for the lady.
She's coming out from far behind
She is overcoming challenges from a distant past.
And if she seems a little slow,
If she appears slow, it's a natural part of her progress.
It only goes to show
This slowness indicates that everything has its own pace of growth.
That everything will grow in its own time
Patience is key as everything will develop in its own time.
Well I haven't really lost my sense of humor;
Despite challenges, I haven't lost my sense of humor.
(say) it all depends on where you're coming from.
One's perspective influences their sense of humor.
But I would tend to give some credence to the rumor
I give some credibility to the rumor that change is imminent.
That this bird in flight just might be on the run.
The metaphorical bird in flight may be in the process of change.
Let's hear some good news for the lady.
Celebrate positive developments for the lady once again.
She's coming out from far behind.
She is emerging from a challenging past.
So if she seems a little slow,
If she appears slow, it's part of her natural progression.
It only goes to show
This slowness signifies that everything has its own pace of growth.
That everything will grow in its own time
Patience is emphasized, as everything will develop in its own time.
I sort of hope you'll understand (that I've been there before)
I hope you understand my past experiences.
That I can't always join the band you want
I cannot always conform to expectations.
And if I hide behind the words I'm saying,
If I hide behind my words, don't be deceived; true understanding may not come through.
Don't let it fool you; you're not comin' through.
It's a reminder that appearances can be misleading.
I need some good news for my lady.
We need positive developments for my lady.
She's coming up and wants to shine.
She is rising and wants to shine.
So if she needs the time to pause,
If she requires time to pause, grant her the space.
Just give her room because
Give her the freedom she needs because everything unfolds in its own time.
She'll be comin' round the mountain in her time.
She will overcome challenges at her own pace.
(You know) everything will grow in its own time.
Everything, including growth, happens in its own time.
