Message in Song (theme song challenge)

It had been one of the hardest days of her life! She unlocked her car and climbed behind the wheel. At least here she was alone. Time to process the day. She turned the key and it was as if God was sending her a message through the radio.

You’ve got to reach up to touch rock bottom
The powers that be keep you downtrodden

She smiled a small smile as the song continued and took a deep breath. The lyrics comforted her.
Hey little girl with the pressures of the
world on you shoulders
Don’t say that it’s over
I heard your prayers, just cast your cares
And I’ll be there so don’t you fear

She thanked God for this small miracle of song and started to sing.
Hush little baby don’t you cry
Daddy’s gonna sing you a lullaby
Everything’s gonna be alright
The Lord’s gonna answer your prayer tonight

And then her phone rang. It was her sister.
“Hey I know you’ve got the big presentation and all, but they just moved Mom to ICU , so if you have time…”
“I’ll be there.”

She turned the car around. Work could wait.
