Song 256

I found myself in the desert. Many miles away from where I began. This machine I had discovered brought me so far, but ultimately failed me. The blinding sun. The searing heat. No life-giving water to be had. I know I must keep going. I will die if I stay here. My thirst grows. My spirit weakens. I feel like this may be the end of me. I catch a glimpse of a sparkle, hidden in the sand. I wearily make my way to the source of my distraction. I fall to my knees in desperation. I wipe away the sand, exposing a golden cup. If only it would rain. I could go on. I wrap my dirty fingers around the stem. I pick up the cup. The heavens open. Rain starts to fall in torrents. I drink my fill and my cup still runs over.

lyrics

My cup runs over
With blessings I can't ignore
I feel so alive
And I don't feel so down anymore

This feeling passes by
I can't remember why
It felt so wrong
To hold a song in my life

I found a reason why
It's alright to cry
For every down, there's an upside

My cup runs over
With dreams of tomorrow
I know I'll survive
Any pain or sorrow

My life can turn out right
And I can survive tonight
It's only time, it's in my mind
It's what I know

All the world around
They're frightened by the sound
Of endless doubts, they scream and shout
Silently

Find these words I need
I'm dreaming of that day
