...Everybody Hurts...

The New Year is just several days away.   For some, a hope for a new beginning… for others, a time to forget to the past.   But for many, an excuse for raucus celebration, and for a few, the beginning of a long, never ending journey into a life of sadness.   Please take the time to review this incredibly powerful Australian video about drinking and driving and pass it along to your friends and loved ones.   So if you must drink…, on New Year’s or at any other time of the year, please do so responsibly.  And let someone else drive.   THINK about what COULD happen…  is all that worth it?  ... Really?

When your day is long and the night

The night is yours alone

When you're sure you've had enough of this life, 

Don't let yourself go

Cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes...sometimes everything is wrong
Now it's time to sing along
When your day is night alone ...hold on...
If you feel like letting go
When you think you've had too much of life well hold on...

Cause everybody hurts
Take comfort in  your friends
Everybody hurts
Don't throw in your hand, oh no hold on
Don't throw in  your hand
If you feel like you are alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

If you are on your own in this life
The days and nights are long
When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on

Well, everybody hurts... sometimes
Everybody cries
And everybody hurts... sometimes
And everybody hurts... sometimes
So, hold on, hold on
Hold on, Hold on
Hold on, Hold on

Everybody hurts
You are not alone...
