Hope for 2018

The other day, I was listening to my iPod when one of my old favorite songs came on . . . the song came out when I was three years old but for as long as I can remember, I felt excitement each time I heard it, although I never knew why.  So when it came on the other day, I decided to pay attention to the lyrics and I was stunned.

The song is Crystal Blue Persuasion by Tommy James and The Shondells and the lyrics seem incredibly fitting for the time that we are in right now.  They filled me with a sense of hope about the new year so I am sharing with the intention that they may do the same for you.

Lyrics:

Look over yonder
What do you see?
The sun is a'rising
Most definitely

A new day is coming, ooh, ooh
People are changing
Ain't it beautiful, ooh, ooh
Crystal blue persuasion

Better get ready to see the light
Love, love is the answer, ooh, ooh
And that's all right

So don't you give up now, ooh, ooh
So easy to find
Just look to your soul
And open your mind

Crystal blue persuasion, mmm, mmm
It's a new vibration
Crystal blue persuasion
Crystal blue persuasion

Maybe tomorrow
When he looks down
On every green field, ooh, ooh
And every town
All of his children
And every nation
They'll be peace and good brotherhood

Crystal blue persuasion yeah
Crystal blue persuasion aha
Crystal blue persuasion aha
