I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I’ve been praying’ for
It’s gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

Good Morning. Let the stress begin…

Music has always been a huge part of my life. Some albums I loved so much and played so often that they became the background
Music in my head
soundtrack to my life. The songs would be playing in the back of my mind for whatever situation I was in, like a movie soundtrack.
