After leaving the testing center last week on the verge of tears (okay maybe a few tears sneaked out; but no one was there to see it) because I had just blown another test, I was not feeling like it was "a wonderful world". Immediately upon getting in the car to drive...somewhere (I didn't want to go home) this song was playing on the radio:
"I see trees of green, red roses too
I see 'em bloom, for me and you
And I think to myself; what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue, clouds of white
Bright blessed days, dark sacred nights
And I think to myself; what a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really sayin' "I love you"
I hear babies cry; I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself; what a wonderful world"
Thank you satellite radio for knowing exactly what I needed to hear.
