Love it when Journey enters my psyche, whether from the radio or from a place inside. It always makes me think about one of my friends from high school -- especially this song -- because he was a music man (of the garage band variety) and he did love me faithfully (and still does).
This afternoon I didn't have to hear it on the radio, though -- I began to hear it while I was talking to a fascinating man at a conference. He was telling me all about his legislative career, and how proud he was, though he was the member of a particular party, to represent all the people in his Senate district. He felt great about having the support from both sides of the aisle.
And the reason, according to him, that he enjoyed such support? God. "They know I'm Christian and they're Christian, so they trust me, even if they belong to the other party," he explained. Hmm. To my mind, that's another construct -- and I don't need a construct to find the good in people. But maybe a lot of us do, and maybe I can somehow apply that to my own efforts to bridge the divide. I'll keep you posted. In the meantime, enjoy the Journey. (I just have to paste all the lyrics because it's such a great song.)
Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind
Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sending all my love along the wire
They say that the road
Ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line it's been you and me
And loving a music man
Ain't always what it's supposed to be
Oh Girl
You stand by me
I'm forever yours
Faithfully
Circus life
Under the big top world
We all need the clowns to make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Wondering where I am lost without you
And being apart ain't easy on this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy of rediscovering you
Oh girl
You stand by me
I'm forever yours
Faithfully
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Faithfully
I'm still yours
I'm forever yours
Ever yours
Faithfully
