Til I Reach The Light

So I've done lots of searching online for help and getting more and more frustrated and hopeless. All the sites are basically the same thing. They say make changes. They list the drugs that are used. They talk about diet and exercise and sleep being important. The problem is there is no HOW. I do not know HOW to change my diet and exercise. I do not know how to change my lifestyle. I need specifics. I need step by step. I need someone to help me. I've been told many times that only I can change my life. Well that is a problem. I can't do this alone. It is too overwhelming. I am not strong or smart enough for this challenge.

 
Here's one of the many, many articles that I have read. This one from Ability Magazine called “Ouch Relief for Fibromyalgia” had one sentence that actually stuck with me.

“Though some might discount the feelings of one with fibromyalgia and dismiss the pain as being “all in one’s head,” the truth is that all pain is in our heads because our brains are where we register the sensation of pain.”

 

I also found a song and then bought it from itunes. I had some funds still in my itunes account. The song is called “Till I Reach the Light” which is by Chris and Lolly Swicegood and on Chris's album “Evermore.” The website, www.fibromyalgia.com, I found it on says “His album "Evermore" is dedicated to those who suffer fibromyalgia as Chris and Lolly became more and more aware of how many people, young and old, suffer daily from this condition. Their song "Till I reach the light" reflects the suffering as only artists can express--the struggle of the fibromyalgia patient.”

The song can be heard on the page of the article about it as well as on his myspace.

I could not find the lyrics online anywhere. Part of it appears to be in French. I want to get my hands on the full lyrics/translation. I tried typing them up myself, a little at a time with several listens to the song.

Till I Reach The Sky

By Chris and Lolly Swicegood

[Chris]

1, 2, 3....

Hey sister I hear you're not feeling so well

My brother told me recently you fell ill

Now my mind it aches

And my heart it breaks

And all I can do is hold on

[Lolly]

Something got taken from me

Oh, can't you see?

Like a thief in the night

It just ain't right

You can't tell by first sight

But I'll win the fight

I'll find my way through this darkness

Til I reach the light

[Chris]

Mo.....

...[french?]....

Now all we can do is hold on

[Lolly]

Something got taken from me

Oh can't you see

Like a thief in the night

It just ain't right

You can't tell by first sight

But I'll win the fight

I'll find my way through this darkness

Til I reach the light

There's got to be a way to leave this pain behind

My God, it's taken so much,

Feel I'm losing my mind

Oh please help me doctor

Can you help heal my soul?

Can you help ease my pain

And again make me whole

'Cuz Something got taken from me

Oh now can't you see

Like a thief in the night

It just ain't right

And you can't tell by first sight

But I'll win the fight

I'll find my way through this darkness

Til I reach the light

I'll find my way through this darkness

Till I reach the light

Till I reach the light

Till I reach the light
