One Day You Will

You feel like you're falling backwards

Like you're slippin' through the cracks

Like no one would even notice

If you left this town and never came back

You walk outside and all you see is rain

You look inside and all you feel is pain

And you can't see it now

But down the road the sun is shining

In every cloud there's a silver lining

Just keep holding on (just keep holding on)

And every heartache makes you stronger

But it won't be much longer

You'll find love, you'll find peace

And the you you're meant to be

I know right now that's not the way you feel

But one day you will

You wake up every morning and ask yourself

What am I dong here anyway

With the weight of disappointments

Whispering in your ear

You're just barely hanging by a thread

You wanna scream but you're down to your last breath

And you don't know it yet

But down the road the sun is shining

In every cloud there's a silver lining

Just keep holding on (just keep holding on)

And every heartache makes you stronger

But it won't be much longer

You'll find love, you'll find peace

And the you you're meant to be

I know right now that's not the way you feel

But one day you will

Find the strength to rise above

You will

Find just what you're made of, you're made of

-Lady Antebellum

This song has hit hard. I got to experience it driving down a back, windy highway with the stars out, windows down and heat on high. That day and yesterday were when I really understood what it was saying and how true it holds in my life - I just got my racing schedule yesterday for track.... I've been stuck in this state where I constantly felt like I was slipping through the cracks and no one would care or notice if I fell and quit everything I loved. And it's been that constant feeling for the past 4 years and put on high during this summer, but I think and pray that my day is coming. It's never felt to so real. To be loving everything I'm doing in life and to maybe have the chance to step on that line, on a track and believe that I can do well and to know that I deserve to do well.... it's been since high school since I raced like that. And 3 years since I've even raced on a track. "But one day you will, find the strength to rise above, you will, find just what you're made of, you're made of" - here's to that day.
