I Will Take You Away
— Angus and Julia Stone, Take You Away
When your feeling down
And your sky is grey
And the people that you love
Well they have nothing lovely
To say
When your days are long
And lonlier than before
When your bed is cold
And the sheep are at your door
I’ll take you away
I’ll take you away
I’ll take you,
I’ll take you away
I’ll take you away
When you’re tired of working
Like a slave
And the smell of the coffee bean,
Well it just won’t go away
And your friends, well they’ve got
Nothing good to say
You just call out my name
And I’ll take you away
I’ll take you away
I’ll take you,
I’ll take you away
I’ll take you away
And I’ll take you away
I’ll take you away
I’ll take you,
I’ll take you away
I’ll take you away

“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

Gandalph wisely points out that we do not get to choose the time we are born into or even how long we stay on this earth, but we do have control over how we spend the time we have.
To say this quote is one of my favorites would not come close to describing the profound effect it…
