[00:00.04]"When problems overwhelm us
[00:02.00]and sadness smothers us,
[00:03.07]Where do we find the will
[00:05.00]and the courage
[00:05.09]to countinue?
[00:06.07]
[00:07.05]Well the answer may come
[00:08.04]in the caring voice of a friend
[00:10.04]A chance encounter with a book
[00:12.06]or from a personal faith.
[00:14.01]
[00:15.00]For Janet, help came from her faith
[00:17.03]But it also came from a squirrel.
[00:18.09]
[00:19.08]Shortly after her divorce
[00:21.00]Janet lost her father
[00:22.05]Then she lost her job
[00:24.02]She had mounting money problems
[00:26.05]But Janet not only survived
[00:28.01]She worked her way out of dispondency
[00:30.02]And now she says
[00:31.01]Life is good again.
[00:32.05]
[00:32.08]How could this happen?
[00:34.04]She told me that late
[00:35.07]One autumn day
[00:36.08]When she was at her lowest,
[00:38.07]She watched a squirrel
[00:39.08]Storing up nuts for the winter
[00:41.09]One at a time
[00:42.08]He would take them to the nest
[00:44.08]And she thought if that squirrel
[00:46.04]Can take care of himself
[00:47.09]With the harsh winter coming on so can I.
[00:50.07]
[00:51.03]Once I broke my problems into small pieces
[00:53.07]I was able to carry them,
[00:55.05]Just like those acorns,
[00:57.00]One at a time"
[00:57.09]
[01:34.09]Take all your problems
[01:36.08]And rip 'em apart
[01:38.08]
[01:43.01]Carry them off
[01:44.05]In a shopping cart
[01:47.00]
[01:51.04]And another thing
[01:52.04]You should've known from the start
[01:55.04]
[01:59.06]The problems in hand
[02:01.02]Are lighter than at heart
[02:03.09]
[02:54.00]Be like the squirrel, girl
[02:56.00]Be like the squirrel
[02:58.03]
[03:02.04]Give it a whirl, girl
[03:04.05]Be like the squirrel
[03:06.04]
[03:10.05]And another thing have to know
[03:13.03]In this world
[03:14.09]
[03:19.00]Cut up your hair
[03:21.00]Straighten your curls
[03:23.04]Well, your problems hide in your curls
[03:27.05]
