I found this song in 2008 and this song has helped me through a lot no matter what situation. I hold this song dear to my heart. Listen to it. Love it.
“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.” – One Day You Will, Lady Antebellum
