Praise the Lord and Life is Grand
This is a thoughtful song about depression.
When Cheryl first wrote it, she called it "Praise the Lord and Life is Grand",
and then she thought maybe "Medicine" would be a better title.
She keeps going back and forth about the title,
but promises to let me know if/when she decides.
Lyrics
- Praise the Lord and Life is Grand
- Words And Music By
- Cheryl Wheeler
- Praise the lord and life is grand
- And man I feel so crazy
- Quite a leap from who I am
- To who I want to be
- I woke up this morning with the heaviest of hearts
- Don’t know where the blue sky ends and where the gray one starts
- I don’t need no comforting
- No pills to make me happy
- Little pills to take until
- You just don’t feel a thing
- I can drone these words until they haunt me like a ghost
- They can be the medicine that touches me the most
- All the day the clouds will lay
- The winter gray above me
- And all the night, the snowy sight
- The glowing light so lovely
- I can’t make this go away
- Can’t shake this from my shoulders
- I can be so slow to see
- What everyone has seen
- Wish I didn’t feel this way but I’m afraid I do
- Wish I had ten thousand stars to offer up to you
