You've got to blow it to the fans of the windmill"

'Cause your dream's not coming true
Leave a little room to start again

Leave a little room for you to mend"

HDD composition, Miracles version

[jobucats]

During my retirement speech after 36 years of public school teaching, I surprised my colleagues by breaking out and singing these lyrics ,similar to the Oprah Show appearance, which were the sentiments I was feeling:
"But now it's my turn
If I don't have all the answers
At least I know I'll take my share of chances
Ain't no use of holding on
When nothing stays the same
So I'll let it rain
'Cause the rain ain't gonna hurt me
And I'll let you go
'Though I know it won't be easy."

[jobucats]

"If your heart is breaking
'Cause your dream's not coming true
Leave a little room to start again

If your faith is shaken
Though it seems you thought it through
Leave a little room for you to mend"

Great lyrics from a great song.
