Inspiring song lyrics

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

"Letters from the Sky" - Civil Twilight

    "One of these days the sky's gonna break
    and everything will escape and I'll know
    One of these days the mountains are gonna fall into the sea
    and they'll know
    That you and I were made for this
    I was made to taste your kiss
    We were made to never fall away
    Never fall away

    One of these days letters are gonna fall from the sky
    telling us all to go free
    But until that day I'll find a way to let everybody know
    'cause you're coming back, you're coming back for me
    'Cause even though you left me here I have nothing left to fear
    These are only walls that hold me here

You live, you learn - Alanis Morisette

    "I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone
    I recommend walking around naked in your living room
    Swallow it down (what a jagged little pill)
    It feels so good (swimming in your stomach)
    Wait until the dust settles...

Lilac Blooms (Under the Rising Moon) - Tina Malia

    Long is the river flowing to the sea
    And in my blood a shiver rising in me
    Across the horizon far beyond the sky
    Is a land that I dream of
    Where the sparrow takes flight...

Pilgrim - Enya

    Pilgrim, how you journey
    On the road you chose
    To find out why the winds die
    And where the stories go...

Fly - Celine Dion

    Fly, fly little wing
    Fly beyond imagining
    The softest cloud, the whitest dove
    Upon the wind of heaven's love...

Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours
Escape the sorrow and the pain
And fly again

Fly, fly prercious one
Your endless journey has begun
Take your gentle happiness
Far too beautiful for this
Cross over to the other shore
There is peace forevermore
But hold this mem'ry bittersweet
Until we meet

The Rose - Amanda Mcbroom

    Some say love it is a river,
    That drowns the tender reed.
    Some say love it is a razor,
    That leaves your heart to bleed.
    Some say love it is a hunger,
    An endless aching need.
    I say love it is a flower,
    And you its only seed...

It's the heart afraid of breaking,
That never learns to dance.
It's the dream afraid of waking,
That never takes the chance.
It's the one who won't be taken,
Who can not seem to give.
And the soul afraid of dying,
That never learns to live.

Blowin' in the Wind - Bob Dylan

    How many roads must a man walk down
    Before you call him a man?
    Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
    Before she sleeps in the sand?...

Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Sounds of Silence - Paul Simon

    Hello darkness, my old friend,
    Ive come to talk with you again,
    Because a vision softly creeping,
    Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
    And the vision that was planted in my brain
    Still remains...

Within the sound of silence.
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

Ordinary Miracle - Sarah McLachlan

    It's not that unusual
    When everything is beautiful.
    It's just another ordinary miracle today.

Amazing Grace - John Newton

    Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
    That saved a wretch like me!
    I once was lost, but now am found,
    Was blind, but now I see...
