Don't turn away from your brothers and sisters!

Howdy my Happy clan!  I know I'm a couple posts behind, three if I didn't post today, but I am so phew!  And today, I have a song that is just so amazing and so phenomenal and so beautifully written that I have no other choice but to share it!  It's called "On the Turning Away" by Pink Floyd.  This and "Wish You Were Here" are my all time favorite Pink Floyd songs.  And this one is just so lyrically perfect for our Happy that I decided, it must be used!

Here are the lyrics to this wonderful song and if you click on the song title you will be taken to the link to hear the song (which has the lyrics included as well):

Pink Floyd

On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say which we won't understand
"Don't accept that what's happening
Is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away"

It's a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And casting its shroud over all we have known
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we're all alone
In the dream of the proud

On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite in a silent accord
Using words you will find are strange
Mesmerised as they light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night

No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away from the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away?

This song is all about sticking together and standing up for everyone, no matter how small or unimportant they may seem to you.  It's about standing together - no matter what!  And doesn't that make you feel happy?  Knowing that someone is always going to have your back?  I know it makes me happy!  But, I now need to go to bed.  I'm hoping tomorrow I'll be able to catch up on at least one of my missing Happies, but at least I know I'll get you your daily one ;)  Until tomorrow, or technically later today, keep smiling and spreading that love!!

Peace, Love and Happiness!
Karen :)
