All Will Be Well

If you haven't heard the song "All Will Be Well" by The Gabe Dixon Band, do yourself a favor. Find it and listen. It is amazing. It's what I've been listening to on a loop all afternoon (and really, for last month of so.) I heard a few lines of it at the end of one of my favorite sitcoms (Parks and Rec - the episode where April takes Andy on a road trip to see the Grand Canyon) and instantly had to hear the rest. (God love iTunes!)

Here are the lyrics:
The new day dawns,
And I am practicing my purpose once again.
It is fresh and it is fruitful if I win but if I lose,
Oooooo I don't know.
I will be tired but I will turn and I will go,
Only guessing til I get there then I'll know,
Oh oh oh I will know.

All the children walking home past the factories

Could see the light that's shining in my window as I write this song to you.
All the cars running fast along the interstate
Can feel the love that radiates
Illuminating what I know is true,
All will be well.
Even after all the promises you've broken to yourself,
All will be well.
You can ask me how but only time will tell.

The winter's cold,

But the snow still lightly settles on the trees.
And a mess is still a moment I can seize until I know,
That all will be well.
Even though sometimes this is hard to tell,
And the fight is just as frustrating as hell
All will be well.

All the children walking home past the factories,

Could see the light that's shining in my window as I write this song to you.
All the cars running fast along the interstate
Can feel the love that radiates
Illuminating what I know is true
All will be well.
Even after all the promises you've broken to yourself
All will be well.
You can ask me how but only time will tell.

Keep it up and don't give up

And chase your dreams and you will find
All in time.

All the children walking home past the factories

Could see the light that's shining in my window as I write this song to you.
All the cars running fast along the interstate
Can feel the love that radiates
Illuminating what I know is true,
All will be well.
Even after all the promises you've broken to yourself,
All will be well.
You can ask me how but only time will tell.

All will be well.

Even after all the promises you've broken to yourself,
All will be well.
You can ask me how but only time will tell.

You can ask me how but only time will tell.

All will be well. I know this. I really do. And I love this song for reminding me of that.
