May good hope walk with you

The Daily Boost (published weekdays) is one of the newsletters of The Raft, the online community of author Phyllis Cole-Dai. We Rafters ride the river of life buoyed by music, poetry, and other arts, along with open spiritual practice.

SONG OF GOOD HOPE
Glen Hansard

If we're gonna make it
Across this river alive
You need to think like a boat
And go with the tide
And I know where you've been
Has really left you in doubt
Of ever finding a harbour
Of figuring this out

And you're gonna need all the help you can get
So lift up your arms now and reach for it
And reach for it

And take your time babe
It's not as bad as it seems
You'll be fine babe
It's just some rivers and streams
In between you and where you want to be

Watch the signs now
You'll know what they mean
You'll be fine now
Just stay close to me
And may good hope walk with you through everything

Take your time babe
It's not as bad as it seems
You'll be fine babe
It's just some rivers and streams
In between you and where you want to be

And watch the signs now
You'll know what they mean
You'll be fine now
Just stay close to me
And may good hope walk with you through everything
May the song of good hope walk with you through everything

(My thanks to Glen Hansard, via TV Noir.)
