You Will Make It
Jem Lyrics

Go to bed, everything's alright
Don't worry about the troubles of the world, just sleep and rest easy.

Don't know the whole world's changing as you sleep through the night
You're not aware of the changes in the world while you sleep.

Wake up slowly and it's a different world
After sleeping, the world may seem different or changed.

Hear the news and the floods begin
News can cause a flood of emotions to rise.

Screams so loud but only felt within
The emotional pain may not be visible to others, yet it is loud within.

Heart is shattered, The pieces can't be found
The experience is so traumatizing that a part of you cannot be found anymore.

I feel your pain, I wrote this song for you, for you
The songwriter empathizes with the pain and wrote this song for all those going through a tough time.

You will make it, you will make it through
There is hope and you will get through the tough times.

I promise you he would want you to
The loved one who passed away would want you to be strong and carry on.

Months go by still living in a daze
The difficulty persists for months and remains confusing.

Don't know what you've done with the last seven days
Time seems to simply pass by and you are not sure what you have accomplished.

Soul is numb and life is like a dream
The emotional trauma has left one feeling empty as if living in a dream.

Helping hands but you push them away
Sometimes it is hard to accept help from others.

How could they understand
It is difficult for others to understand the magnitude of the experience.

Don't wanna share your pain
Opening up about the emotional pain is hard.

Afraid to heal 'cause that would mean goodbye
The fear of healing is that it may mean saying goodbye to the loved one who passed away.

One day sunlight hits a photograph
A small happy moment brings a ray of sun into the dark times.

And it makes you smile
It is possible to find pleasure in the memories shared with loved ones who have passed.

You're not alone, you'll never be
Although it may feel lonely, there are always people who care and are ready to listen.

Just like the stars they oversee
There is guidance and a presence that is always watching over us, like the stars.

And they whisper to you you're still, you're still
There is still hope and there is still life left to live.

I am not there, I do not sleep
The loved one who passed away may not be here physically but lives on in other ways.

I am a thousand winds that blow
The loved one is like the wind that touches everything and is everywhere.

I am the diamond glints on snow
The sparkle of snow is like the loved one shining down on us.

I am the sun on ripened grain
The warmth and beauty of the sun are like the loved one's warmth and beauty in our lives.

I am the gentle autumn rain
The gentle autumn rain is like the soothing presence of the loved one.

When you awaken in the morning's hush
The calmness of the morning is grounding and peaceful.

I am the swift uplifting rush
The loved one can inspire and uplift us like a rush of wind beneath our wings.

Of quiet birds in circled flight
The tranquility of nature and its enchanting beauty can remind and uplift spirits.

I am the soft stars that shine at night
The loved one is like the stars that comfort us and remind us they are always shining and present.

Do not stand at my grave and cry
Grieving is hard, but it is important to remind ourselves that our loved ones are still with us in different ways.

I am not there, I did not die
They are not gone forever and their spirit is still present in the world around us.
