I realize that some will argue that this week’s edition of Inspirational Song of the Week isn’t inspirational. \u00a0To me, inspiration isn’t always about gung-ho excitement, I believe that we can be inspired to think, to reflect, and to care for those around us. \u00a0\u00a0This song and video hinges on the simple reminders that everyone goes through strife, and things will always get better.<\/p>\n

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,<\/em>
\nWhen you’re sure you’ve had enough of this life, well hang on<\/em>
\nDon’t let yourself go, ’cause everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes<\/em><\/p>\n

Sometimes everything is wrong. Now it’s time to sing along<\/em>
\nWhen your day is night alone, (hold on, hold on)<\/em>
\nIf you feel like letting go, (hold on)<\/em>
\nWhen you think you’ve had too much of this life, well hang on<\/em><\/p>\n

‘Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends<\/em>
\nEverybody hurts. Don’t throw your hand. Oh, no. Don’t throw your hand<\/em>
\nIf you feel like you’re alone, no, no, no, you are not alone<\/em><\/p>\n

If you’re on your own in this life, the days and nights are long,<\/em>
\nWhen you think you’ve had too much of this life to hang on<\/em><\/p>\n

Well, everybody hurts sometimes,<\/em>
\nEverybody cries. And everybody hurts sometimes<\/em>
\nAnd everybody hurts sometimes. So, hold on, hold on<\/em>
\nHold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on<\/em>
\nEverybody hurts. You are not alone\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
