Wow, I don't think I could post the lyrics to just one song. I guess it depends what you mean by "inspirational" - a song can inspire me to do lots of different things, like laugh, cry, dance, hug my kid/husband, whatever. I don't listen to inspirational music as pertains to religion, and I have favorite songs from the 40's right on up to now. The song "Creep" by Radiohead always gives me shivers....

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so (very) special
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.

I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so (very) special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.

She's running out again,
She's running out
She's run run run running out...

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so (very) special
I wish I was special...

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo,
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.
I don't belong here.

Reminds me of that outcast feeling I always had in high school....

Then there's the song that I would sing for my husband, if I could actually sing without scaring the cat....

"Still The One" by Orleans

We've been together since way back when
Sometimes I never want to see you again
But I want you to know, after all these years
You're still the one I want whisperin' in my ear

You're still the one I want to talk to in bed
Still the one that turns my head
We're still having fun, and you're still the one

I looked at your face every day
But I never saw it 'til I went away
When winter came, I just wanted to go
Deep in the desert, I longed for the snow

You're still the one that makes me laugh
Still the one that's my better half
We're still having fun, and you're still the one

You're still the one that makes me strong
Still the one I want to take along
We're still having fun, and you're still the one

Changing, our love is going gold
Even though we grow old, it grows new

You're still the one that I love to touch
Still the one and I can't get enough
We're still having fun, and you're still the one

You're still the one who can scratch my itch
Still the one and I wouldn't switch
We're still having fun, and you're still the one

You are still the one that makes me shout
Still the one that I dream about
We're still having fun, and you're still the one...

Then there's that Nine Inch Nails song, "Closer" - I don't dare put any of those lyrics on here, but there's something about it that draws me in, even though the lyrics are pretty raw. (It's my other love song for my husband - j/k)

"Run For The Roses" by Dan Fogelberg - whenever I hear this song, I can close my eyes and I am in a pasture in Kentucky in the summertime, in perfect peace:

Born in the valley
And raised in the trees
Of Western Kentucky
On wobbly knees
With mama beside you
To help you along
You'll soon be a-growing up strong

All the long, lazy mornings
In pastures of green
The sun on your withers
The wind in your mane
Could never prepare you
For what lies ahead
The run for the roses so red -

And it's run for the roses
As fast as you can
Your fate is delivered
Your moment's at hand
It's the chance of a lifetime
In a lifetime of chance
And it's high time you joined
In the dance
It's high time you joined
In the dance -

From sire to sire
It's born in the blood
The fire of a mare
And the strength of a stud
It's breeding and it's training
And it's something unknown
That drives you and carries
You home

And it's run for the roses
As fast as you can
Your fate is delivered
Your moment's at hand
It's the chance of a lifetime
In a lifetime of chance
And it's high time you joined
In the dance
It's high time you joined
In the dance -

I think The Eagles, Queen, Supertramp, a lot of those 70's groups had really great lyrics, or maybe it's just that I listened to them when I was going through my maudlin, teenage, just-kill-me-now phase and they seemed deeper than they really were - .
