Found/Tonight: If you are needing some comfort and inspiration, this song is for you.

"Found/Tonight"

[Ben Platt:]
We may not yet have reached our glory
But I will gladly join the fight
And when our children tell their story
They'll tell the story of tonight
They'll tell the story of tonight
Tonight

[Lin-Manuel Miranda:]
Have you ever felt like nobody was there?
Have you ever felt forgotten in the middle of nowhere?
Have you ever felt like you could disappear?
Like you could fall, and no one would hear?

[Ben Platt:]
Well, let that lonely feeling wash away
[Lin-Manuel Miranda:]
All we see is light
[Ben Platt:]
'Cause maybe there's a reason to believe you'll be okay
[Lin-Manuel Miranda:]
For forever
[Ben Platt:]
'Cause when you don't feel strong enough to stand
You can reach, reach out your hand

And oh
[Lin-Manuel Miranda:]
Raise a glass to freedom
Something they can never take away
[Ben Platt:]
Oh
[Lin-Manuel Miranda:]
No matter what they tell you
[Ben Platt:]
Someone will coming running
They'll take you home
[Lin-Manuel Miranda:]
Raise a glass to all of us
[Both:]
Tomorrow there'll be more of us
[Lin-Manuel Miranda:]
Telling the story of tonight
[Ben Platt:]
Out of the shadows
[Ben Platt (Lin-Manuel Miranda):]
The morning is breaking (they'll tell the story of)
And all is new (tonight)
[Lin-Manuel Miranda:]
All is new
[Ben Platt:]
All is new
[Lin-Manuel Miranda:]
It's only a matter of
[Both:]
Time

Even when the dark comes crashing through
When you need a friend to carry you
When you're broken on the ground
You will be found
So let the sun come streaming in
'Cause you'll reach up and you'll rise again
If you only look around
You will be found

[Lin-Manuel Miranda:]
And when our children tell their story
[Ben Platt:]
You will be found
[Lin-Manuel Miranda:]
They'll tell the story of tonight
[Ben Platt:]
Oh
[Lin-Manuel Miranda:]
No matter what they tell you
[Ben Platt:]
Tomorrow there'll be more of us
[Both:]
Telling the story of tonight
The story of tonight

Someone recently asked about the artwork that my daughter drew for me that hangs in my office. They are both drawings from my grandparents’s old restaurant that used to exist on Highway 37. The fact that my daughter helped to immortalize this restaurant which no longer exists means the world to me. Family is so important to me!

And now it’s time for my new series, “Fighting the mental health war with Ambo.” (I was nicknamed Ambo in high school.) Today we’ll talk about the excitement of the upcoming solar eclipse. It is expected to be very busy in the path of totality, and we may see an influx of people into our area.
