Inspirational lyrics: please share

I love this one, John Denver's words really make me see forward.

Today is the first day of the rest of my life, I wake as a child to see the world begin.
On monarch wings and birthday wonderings, want to put on faces, walk in the wet and cold.
And look forward to my growing old, to grow is to change, to change is to be new,
to be new is to be young again, I barely remember when.

My memories are stolen by the morning, blotted out by the suns hypnotic eye.
I'll abide the sun's hypnotic eye.

Today is the first day of the rest of my life, I wake as a child to see the world begin.
On monarch wings and birthday wonderings, want to put on faces, walk in the wet and cold.
And look forward to my growing old.

And this rocks!

Lifehouse: Had Enough

Everytime I reach for you, there's no one there to hold on to
Nothing left for me to miss, I'm letting go, letting go of this
Lost my mind thinking it through, the light inside has left me too
Now I know what empty is, I've had enough, I've had enough of this.= AL

When I was drinking, I could really identify with a line from The Story.

All of my friends who think that I'm blessed...
They don't know my head is a mess."

I just made me so sad every time - it just totally described the complete dichotomy that was my life. The ridiculous need that I had for private self destruction with alcohol...while keeping up the facade on the outside.

Fav band EVER!

A few others from Pearl Jam

"Ill ride the wave where it takes me"
"I don't wanna think... I wanna feel..."
"Push me and I will resist"
"I don't wanna take what you can give, I would rather starve than eat your bread.."
"It makes much sense to live... in the present tense"
"...he who forgets will be destined to remember..."
"...I don't question our existence, I just question our modern needs..."
"...They said timing was everything, made him want to be everywhere, there's a lot to be said for nowhere..."
"He decides to dream...Dream up a new self... for himself"

Mary Chapin Carpenter, I Take my Chances:

Some people say that you shouldn't tempt fate
And for them I cannot disagree
But I never learned nothing from playing it safe.
I say fate should not tempt me.

Bonnie Raitt "I will not be broken"


Take me down
You can hold me but you
Can't hold what's within
Pull me round
Push me to the limit
Maybe I may bend
But I know where I'm not going
I will not be broken
I will not be broken
I will not be...

We sit so high on the city walls
Our tears wash clean the cobblestones
It's not so much that the thrill is gone
Just a cleaner, sweeter, brighter thrill has come along

My very favourite lyrics. Savage Garden...affirmations


I believe the sun should never set upon an argument
I believe we place our happiness in other people's hands
I believe that junk food tastes so good because it's bad for you
I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do
I believe that beauty magazines promote low self esteem
I believe I'm loved when I'm completely by myself alone

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality
I believe that trust is more important than monogamy
I believe your most attractive features are your heart and soul
I believe that family is worth more than money or gold
I believe the struggle for financial freedom is unfair
I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

I believe forgiveness is the key to your own happiness
I believe that wedded bliss negates the need to be undressed
I believe that God does not endorse tv evangelists
I believe in love surviving death into eternity

I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye
Until you say goodbye

I am a MASSIVE AiC fan, my profile picture is portrait I did of their singer Layne Staley, and my name was totally an homage to them. Favourite song ever lyrically + musically is God Am.

I thought it was Mr Staley, great drawing some serious talent there:

"Ain't found a way to kill me yet
Eyes burn with stinging sweat
Seems every path leads me to nowhere...."
