most inspirational song lyrics?

[Ann]

*grins at wolf_q* Somehow I'm not surprised

My favorite U2 song would have to be In God's Country. Do you like that song too?

[wolf_Q]

LOL

Of course! I love In God's Country!

You poor souls....I could sit here and post the lyrics to at least 50 U2 songs...good thing I stopped when I did!

the secret of life-faith hill

[Kfamr]

From the album "Stripped"

Don't look at me Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly, it's hard to breathe
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the fame, I'm so ashamed

I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today

To all your friends, you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone and the puzzle undone
That's the way it is

You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words won't bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words won't bring you down
Don't you bring me down today...

No matter what we do
(no matter what we do)
No matter what they say
(no matter what they say)
When the sun is shining through
Then the clouds won't stay
And everywhere we go
(everywhere we go)
The sun won't always shine
(sun won't always shine)
But tomorrow will find a way
All the other times

We are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down
We are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words can't bring us down
Don't you bring me down today

Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today

Christina Aguilera

yeah, i love our lady peace! they are performing here tonight and my best friend is going. i really wanted to go also!! oh well i love their song "innocent".

Johnny wishes he was famous
Spends his time alone
in the basement
With Lennon and Cobain
A guitar and a stereo
While he wishes he
could escape this
It all seems so contagious
Not to be yourself and faceless
In a song that has no soul

I remember feeling low
I remember losing hope
I remember all the feelings
And the day they stopped
We are we are all innocent
Tina’s losing faith in what she knows
Hates her music
hates all of her clothes
Thinks of surgery
And a new nose
Every calorie is a war
While she wishes she
was a dancer
And that she'd never
heard of cancer
She wishes God would give her
some answers
And make her feel beautiful

[primabella]

i can go on and on about great songs with meaning. i usually love songs for their words. here's one from Creed and then one from the Cranberries. and then i'll stop. i don't wanna take up all the space

Creed
Higher

When dreaming I'm guided to another world
Time and time again
At sunrise I fight to stay asleep
'Cause I don't want to leave the comfort of this place
'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape
From the life I live when I'm awake
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?

Can you take me Higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me Higher?
To a place with golden streets

Although I would like our world to change
It helps me to appreciate
Those nights and those dreams
But, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights
If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same
The only difference is
To let love replace all our hate
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?

Can you take me Higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me Higher?
To a place with golden streets

So lets go there, lets go there,
Come on, lets go there
Lets ask can we stay?

Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time
Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams
And make them mine
Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams
And make them mine

Can you take me Higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me Higher?
To a place with golden streets

Can you take me Higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me Higher?
To a place with golden streets

[primabella]

and a song that suits perfectly with what is going on today. it made me think:

Cranberries
"Zombie"

Another head hangs lowly,
Child is slowly taken.
And the violence caused such silence,
Who are we mistaken?

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou, dou, dou...

Another mother's breakin',
Heart is taking over.
When the vi'lence causes silence,
We must be mistaken.

It's the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen.
In your head, in your head they're still fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are dying...

In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, ya, ya-a...

ooo, i love this thread

i would also post a song by eminem (despite some things he says and does, he's got great meaning in his songs). "hailie's song" has great words describing the love for his daughter that he has. i won't post the lyrics for obvious reasons

ps - kfamr - i love that song

[mugsy]

Living Outside the Fire
The River
The Dance

all by Garth Brooks

I like Creed a lot too!! and I ADORE Queen....I like the song 39 off of the Night at the Opera album

OOOOHHH yeah...

Crystal Ball by Styx

[primabella]

queen is pretty good too. "we are the champions" and, i don't remember the name but it goes "mama mia" maybe that's the name.. anyways, i ike those songs best. lol so yeah

[mugsy]

Bohemian Rhapsody...and they almost lost that song because in the middle of the song with the operatic voices....that's all 4 of them and no one else and they kept recording over themselves and when they finished the tape was so thin you could see through it.

[Desert Arabian]

Let's see, when I am depressed I like to hear this song. (Mainly because of my extremely low self-esteem level):
Beautiful, by Christina A. Even though, I hate her with all my heart. Lyrics are above in Kfamrs post.

To cheer me up/make me laugh I *love* to listen to this song:

She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy: Kenny Chesney

Plowing these fields in the hot summer sun
Over by the gate lordy here she comes
With a basket full of chicken and a big cold jug of sweet tea
I make a little room and she climbs on up
Open up a throttle and stir a little dust
Just look at her face she ain't a foolin' me

She thinks my tractor's sexy
It really turns her on
She's always staring at me
While I'm chuggin' along
She likes the way it's pullin' while we're tillin' up the land
She's even kind of crazy 'bout my farmer's tan
She's the only one who really understands what gets me
She thinks my tractor's sexy

We ride back and forth until we run out of light
Take it to the barn put it up for the night
Climb up in the loft sit and talk with the radio on
She said she's got a dream and I asked what it is
She wants a little farm and a yard full of kids
One more teeny weeny ride before I take her home

She thinks my tractor's sexy
It really turns her on
She's always staring at me
While I'm chuggin' along
She likes the way it's pullin' while we're tillin' up the land
She's even kind of crazy 'bout my farmer's tan
She's the only one who really understands what gets me
She thinks my tractor's sexy

Well she ain't into cars or pick up trucks
But if it runs like a Deere man her eyes light up

She thinks my tractor's....

She thinks my tractor's sexy
It really turns her on
She's always staring at me
While I'm chuggin' along
She likes the way it's pullin' while we're tillin' up the land
She's even kind of crazy 'bout my farmer's tan
She's the only one who really understands what gets me
She thinks my tractor's sexy

She thinks my tractor's sexy
She thinks my tractor's sexy

It makes me laugh every time I listen to it. What makes it better is the fact that Mr. Chesney- the cutiest Country singer, sings it.

[Aspen and Misty]

I love this song. I love that she is trying to get the word out abotu child abuse and I love the way she says "A broken heart that the world forgot" because so many times we forget to think about things that are going on in peopels lives around us and just focass in on ours. This song has touched me and almost all of my school. Its a song that just brings tears to your eyes and makes you thankfull for everything you have.



Concrete Angel By Martina McBride
She walks to school with the lunch she packed
Nobody knows what she's holdin' back
Wearin' the same dress she wore yesterday
She hides the bruises with linen and lace

The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask
Bearing the burden of a secret storm
Sometimes she wishes she was never born

Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where she's loved
Concrete angel

Somebody cries in the middle of the night
The neighbors hear, but they turn out the lights
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
When morning comes it'll be too late

Repeat Chorus

A statue stands in a shaded place
An angel girl with an upturned face
A name is written on a polished rock
A broken heart that the world forgot
