Amazing how many songs I have always loved now seem to be speaking to me about our diabetes world.

Named one of his paintings after this song.

I feel like I died and went to heaven, the cupboards are bare but the streets are paved with gold.

I saw a young girl who didn't die, I saw a glimmer from in her eye. I saw the distance, I saw the past. I know I want to wake up in some dream that can last.

I feel like I died and went to heaven, and bring the cupboards are bare but the streets are paved with gold and all the lights were turned down low, And no one wondered or had to go. Out on the corner the Angels sang, there is a better life for me someday.

I feel like I died and went to heaven. The cupboards are bare but the streets are paved with gold in.

It is said that Natalie wrote this song for a women who was born with handicaps that seemed too great to overcome. But she did.

"Doctors had to come from distant cities, just to see me/stand over my bed, disbelieving what their seeing. They say I must be one of the wonders/God's own creation, and as far as they see they can offer no explanation. Newspapers ask intimate questions, want confessions/they reach into my head to steal the glory of my story. They say I must be one of the wonders/God's own creation and as far as they see they can offer no explination. Ooo, I believe/fate smiled, and destiny - laughed as you came to my cradle/know this child will be able/laughed as my body she lifted/know this child will be gifted - With love, with patience and with faith. She'll make a way. She'll make a way. People see me/I'm a challenge to your balance/ I'm over your heads how I confound you/and astound you. To know I must be one of the wonders/Gods own creation. And as far as they see they can offer me no explination. Ooo, I believe/fate smiled and destiny - laughed as she came to my cradle/know this child will be able/laughed as she came to my mother/know this child will not suffer/laughed as my body she lifted/know this child will be gifted - with love, with patience and with grace. She'll make her way/she'll make her way/she'll make her way/she'll make her way." Natalie Merchant - Wonder - Tigerlily

He'll make his way. He may suffer but he will be gifted with love - with patience - with grace. He'll make his way.
