Last night I got upset about something (no details given), drove off in my car, balled my eyes out and phoned my brother. When I finally pulled myself together, I headed back home. Michael was putting the kids down so their room was dark. Good...I was able to hide my swollen eyes from them. Then Jaclyn, out of the blue, just came up to me and sang U2's "Stuck in the Moment", and all of a sudden I felt better.
Here are lyrics to the chorus and sung by the mouth of a babe:
"You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in the moment
And now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better
Now you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it."
(To carry on with some of the lyrics:)
"You are such a fool
To worry like you do...oh
I know it's tough
And you can never get enough
Of what you really don't need now
My, oh my."
(And then the last lines of the song are:)
"It's just a moment
This time will pass."
As I am a big fan of U2, both of my kids know many of their songs including this one and "Beautiful Day". Leave it to my 4-year old to make me feel better by singing this song. How appropriate. I love my kids.
