Help Is On The Way

"Now, that friendly smile (Help is on the way)

In every aisle guaranteed (Help is on the way)

That your day was breezy (Help is on the way)

All those hours (Help is on the way)

And store-bought flowers (Help is on the way)

Set me free

And freedom meant the world to me."

 

Adam, Check Please

 

"Help is on the way", is a lyric in an Owl City song called "Adam Check, Please", and while Adam meant something else wtih it, I always heard it differently. In the song he sings about working in a grocery store, making his first paycheck - before he knew he was going to be a well known artist. He actually means himself helping in the store with "help is on the way", but before I familiarized myself with the lyrics I thought he mean that something is coming to help, saving him from that situation. And whenever I get to a place where I feel trapped or lost, unable to change it myself, I lean into that thought and that melody. "Help is on the way".
