Inspiring song lyrics

Great philosophy is sometimes to be found in popular song lyrics when you read between the lines...

I will always return

    "I hear the wind call my name
    The sound that leads me home again
    It sparks up the fire - a flame that still burns
    To you I'll always return...

    I know the road is long but where you are is home
    Wherever you stay - I'll find a way
    I'll run like a river - I'll follow the sun
    I'll fly like an eagle - to where I belong

    I can't stand the distance - I can't dream alone
    I can't wait to see you - Yes I'm on my way home

"Always take the weather with you"

    "Walking round the room singing
    Stormy weather
    At 57 mt. pleasant st...

Nik Kershaw

    "They found me lost in space, nowhere to go
    with the stakes so high and my resistance so low
    they said "follow us, follow us today
    we are truth, we are the way...

    "Young man" they said "Your search is through
    You can trust in us, we'll look after you
    We will be your body, we will be your mind
    And we've a face of each and every kind

    "there's no need for you to hear or see
    we'll do your thinking for you, if you'll agree
    so close your eyes and let yourself unwind
    and we can leave the real world behind"

Leaf & Stream - Wishbone Ash (from the album Argos)

    "Find myself beside a stream of empty thoughts,
    Like a leaf that's fallen to the ground,
    And carried by the flow of water to my dreams
    Woken only by your sound...

    Alone I've walked this path for many years,
    Listened to the wind that calls my name.
    The weeping trees of yesterday they look so sad,
    Await your breath of spring again.

"Some kind of bliss"

Here's some enlightening song lyrics from Kylie Minogue - (before she discovered golden coloured hot pants sold better!)...

"Some Kind Of Bliss"


    "Shut my eyes
    Feel the colour of you
    So get to this elation
    So high so fast

    Shut my eyes
    Feel the colour of you
    Succumb to this illusion
    So strong so deep

    Cos everyday is all there is
    In my some kind of bliss
    Cos everyday is all there is
    In my some kind of bliss

Invisible Sun

Spiritual song lyrics - "Invisible Sun"

    "There has to be an invisible sun
    It gives its heat to everyone
    There has to be an invisible sun
    That gives us hope when the whole day's done"

    The Police

"Bad" by U2

    "If you twist and turn away, if you tear yourself in two again
    if I could, yes I would, if I could, I would let it go
    surrender, dislocate...

    If I could throw this lifeless lifeline to the wind
    leave this heart of clay see you walk, walk away
    into the night and through the rain
    into the half-light and through the flame.

    If I could through myself set your spirit free
    I'd lead your heart away see you break, break away
    into the light and to the day

"Imagine" - John Lennon

We recognise truth when we hear it but not in our minds, rather we feel it in our hearts. Perhaps that is why John Lennon's song "Imagine" is so popular...

    "Imagine there's no heaven,
    It's easy if you try,
    No hell below us,
    Above us only sky,
    Imagine all the people
    living for today...

    Imagine there's no countries,
    It isn't hard to do,
    Nothing to kill or die for,
    No religion too,
    Imagine all the people
    living life in peace...

"Only Breath" - Chloe Goodchild

Here is a great song lyric from the new spiritual CD "Fierce Wisdom" by Chloe Goodchild. It's 'borrowed' from Rumi and is called "Only Breath"...

"Still haven't found what I'm looking for" - U2

'God' often 'speaks' to us in the lyrics of popular songs and one which came to me recently was the song "Still haven't found what I'm looking for" by U2.
