Do you ever hear a song lyric that touches you so profoundly that no matter how much you hear it, you never get tired of it?? What about lyrics that touch you so deeply they've been known to make you cry. That's what this thread is dedicated to, lyrics that mean alot to you for whatever reason. This first lyric has meant alot to me ever since I first heard it because I was a major outcast in school, and can relate so deeply to it in so many ways. Here's the lyric.

P.O.D., Youth Of A Nation - "Johnny Boy always played the fool, he broke all the rules so you would think he was cool. He was never really one of the guys, no matter how hard he tried, often thought of suicide. It's kind of hard when you ain't got no friends, he put his life to an end, they might remember him then. You cross the line and there's no turning back, told the world how he felt with the sound of a gat".

There's a song that Burl Ives recorded back in the 1970s. I can't remember
the title, but the song is about growing old. And there's a profound line in
there that has always stuck with me:

" ... they're tearing down buildings that I watched them build."

That line just says so much.

A little can sure say alot, and this lyric is proof of it. I had never heard that lyric before. Thanks for posting it! :)

I love Anyway, beautiful song. I was actually just thinking of posting it in the music video thread. If you like Anyway, you might also like How You Live, by Point Of Grace. Check it out if you get a chance. I think you might like it! It reminds me of Anyway sort of. kind of has the same message. :)

There's so many songs and lyrics that mean a lot to me, whether they have personal meaning to me or not. There's way too many to try and think of, but this Martina McBride song is one that stands out for sure:

From The Ashes

My right hand holds matches
My left holds my past
I hope the wind catches
And burns it down fast
I'm gonna step into the fire
With my failures and my shame
And wave goodbye to yesterday
As I dance among the flames So

Chorus:
Don't try to save me now
Let the walls of my world all burn down
Just stand back and wait 'til the smoke finally passes
And I will rise
From the ashes
From the ashes
From the ashes

For all that I'm losing
Much more will I gain
The hard part is choosing
To change what needs changed
My step will be much lighter
With these demons off my chest
I'm born a better spirit
And lay the old to rest

Repeat Chorus

I'll walk away stronger
I will be flyin'
Higher and truer
Than I've flown before

My right hand holds matches
My left holds my past
I hope the wind catches
And burns it down fast


Sometimes a line in a song doesn't necessarily mean a lot to me, but definitely gives me a "chills" moment. One example is in the song "Old Soul" by Patty Loveless, which is about a woman going through the natural process of growing older. The line, "She's forgotten more about life and love than most will ever know" just says so much to me.

There's no one lyric in particular that gets me in this song, the whole song touches me.

Beth Hart - Leave The Light On

I've seen myself, with a dirty face
I've cut my luck, with a dirty ace
I leave the light on
I leave the light on
I went from zero, to minus ten
I drank your wine, then
I stole your man
I leave the light on
I leave that light on

Daddy ain't that bad, he
just plays rough
I ain't that scarred,
when I'm covered up
I leave the light on
Yeah, I leave the light on
Little girl hiding underneath the bed
Was it something I did? Must
be something I said
I leave the light on
I better leave the light on

[ Chorus 1 ]
'Cause I wanna love
And I wanna live
Yeah, I don't know much about it
And I never did - no, no

17, and I'm all messed up inside
I cut myself, just to feel alive
And I leave the light on
And I leave the light on
21 on the run, on the run, on the run
From myself, from myself and everyone
I leave the light on
I better leave the light on

[ Chorus 2 ]
'Cause I wanna love
And I wanna live
Yea, I don't know much about it
And I never did
I don't know what to do
Can the damage be undone?
I swore to God that I'd never be
What I've become

And lucky stars, and fairy tales
I'm gonna bathe myself,
in a wishin' well
Pretty scars from cigarettes
I never will forget - I
never will forget

I'm still afraid, to be alone
Wish that the moon would follow me home
I leave the light on
Yeah, I leave that light on

I ain't that bad, I'm just messed up
I ain't that sad, but I'm sad enough

[ Chorus 2 ]
'Cause I wanna love
I wanna live
No, I don't know much about it
And I never did
I don't know what to do
Can the damage be undone?
I swore to God that I'd never be
What I've become

I leave that light...
I leave that light...
I leave that light on

God bless the child,
with the dirty face
Who cuts her luck, with a dirty ace
She leaves the light on
I leave that light on

The lyrics to Journey's "Send Her My Love" and "Faithfully" mean so much to me because they remind me of my friend Doug, who suddenly passed in 2003. It took me a looong time to listen to both those songs without crying.

These lyrics from Switchfoot's "The Shadow Proves The Sunshine" always touch me. Probably because I can relate to them at times.

"Oh Lord, why did you forsake me, oh Lord, don't be far away, away, storm clouds gathering beside me, please Lord don't look the other way, we are, crooked souls trying to stay up straight, dry eyes in the pourting rain well, the shadow proves the sunshine, the shadow proves the sunshine, two scared little runaways, hold fast till the break of daylight, the shadow proves the sunshine, the shadow proves the sunshine."

Celine Dion's "Because You Loved Me"-My husband and I danced to this at our wedding.
Michael Bolton's "Said I Loved You, But I Lied"-This is one of the most romantic songs I have ever heard.
Michael W. Smith's "Friends"-this was our high school senior class song at church. The words are so poignant.

Conversations with my
thirteen year old self
Conversations with my
thirteen year old self

You're angry
I know this
The world couldn't care less
You're lonely
I feel this
And you wish you were the best
No teachers
Or guidance
And you always walk alone
You're crying
At night when
Nobody else is home

Come over here and let
me hold your hand and
hug you darling
I promise you that it won't
always feel this bad
There are so many things I
want to say to you
You're the girl I used to be
You little heartbroken
thirteen year old me

You're laughing
But you're hiding
[ Find more Lyrics at www.mp3lyrics.org/E8DQ ]
God I know that trick too well
You forget
That I've been you
And now I'm just the shell
I promise
I love you and
Everything will work out fine
Don't try to
Grow up yet
Oh just give it some time

The pain you feel is
real you're not asleep
but it's a nightmare
But you can wake up anytime
Oh don't lose your
passion or the fighter
that's inside of you
You're the girl I used to be
The pissed off complicated
thirteen year old me

Conversations with my
thirteen year old self
Conversations with my
thirteen year old self

Until we meet again
Oh I wish you well oh
I wish you well
Little girl
Until we meet again
Oh
I wish you well
Little girl
I wish you well
Until we meet again
My little thirteen year old me

Soul Asylum - Misery

They say misery loves company
We could start a company and make misery

Frustrated, incorporated
Well I know just what you need
I might just have the thing
I know what youd pay to see

Put me out of my misery
Id do it for you, would you do it for me
We will always be busy making misery

We could build a factory and make misery
Well create the cure; we made the disease

Frustrated, incorporated
Frustrated, incorporated
Well I know just what you need
I might just have the thing
I know what youd pay to feel

Put me out of my misery
All you suicide kings and you drama queens
Forever after happily, making misery

Did you satisfy your greed, get what you need
Was it only envy, so empty

Frustrated, incorporated
Frustrated, incorporated

Frustrated, incorporated (put me out of my misery)
Frustrated, incorporated (Id do it for you, would you do it for me)
Frustrated, incorporated (forever after happily)
Frustrated, incorporated (making misery)
Etc...

Harry Connick Jr's "Yes We Can" is an awesome song. He wrote it right after Katrina since he's so fond of his hometown of New Orleans, but I think it definitely fits our world right now. I just bought a shirt tonight that has Obama's picture on it and next to that it says "Yes We Can" in big letters. I know this song isn't his campaign song, but it sure could be!

Now Is The Time For All Good Men
to Get Together With One Another
iron Out Their Problems
and Iron Out Their Quarrels
and Try To Live As Brothers
try To Find A Peace Within
without Stepping On One Another
do Respect The Women Of The World
just Remember, We All Had Mothers

chorus:
make This Land A Better Land
than The World In Which We Live
and Help Each Man Be A Better Man
with The Kindness That We Give
i Know We Can Make It
i Know Darned Well We Can Work It Out
yes We Can
i Know We Can, Can
yes We Can, Can Why Can't We If We Wanna
yes We Can, Can

i Know We Can Make It Work
i Know We Can Make It If We Try
yes We Can, I Know We Can, Can
yes We Can, Great God Almighty
yes We Can, I Know We Can, Can

(Instrumental)

verse:
take Care Of All The Children
the Children Of The World
they're Our Strongest Hope For The Future
the Little Bitty Boy And Girl

(Repeat Chorus)

(Instrumental)

(Repeat Chorus)

yes We Can
i Know We Can, Can
yes We Can, Can Why Can't We
yes We Can, Can
(Repeat 3x More)

yes We Can

Here's the link of him singing this song on Letterman. Awesome!

Close My Eyes. It makes me think of the overcoming the struggles in your childhood and beyond and figuring out who you are and being who you are...:)

Verse 1
I was a wayward child
With the weight of the world
That I held deep inside
Life was a winding road
And I learned many things
Little ones shouldn't know

Chorus 1
But I closed my eyes
Steadied my feet on the ground
Raised my head to the sky
And though time's rolled by
Still I feel like that child
As I look at the moon
Maybe I grew up a little too soon

Verse 2
Funny how one can learn
To grow numb to the madness
And block it away
I left the worst unsaid
Let it all dissipate
And I try to forget

Chorus 2
As I closed my eyes
Steadied my feet on the ground
Raised my head to the sky
And the time rolled by
Still I feel like a child
As I look at the moon
Maybe I grew up a little too soon

Bridge
Nearing the edge
Oblivious I almost
Fell right over
A part of me
Will never be quite able
To feel stable
That woman-child feeling inside
Was on the verge of fading
Thankfully I
Woke up in time

Verse 3
Guardian angel I
Sail away on an ocean
With you by my side
orange clouds roll by
They burn into your image
And you're still alive
(You're always alive)

Chorus 3
As I close my eyes
Steady my feet on the ground
Raise my head to the sky
And though time rolls by
Still I feel like a child
As I look at the moon
Maybe I grew up a little too soon

Oh man, I could be on this thread all day!!;)

Stop the World(I Want to Get Off) - Extreme

We need more feet to walk in one another's shoes

Somewhere Down the Road - Barry Manilow, because it reminds me alot of my ex, who I still think about alot, and I guess still hold a flame to.

We had the right love
at the wrong time
Guess I always knew inside,
I wouldn't have you for a long time

Those dreams of yours
Are shining on distant shores
And if they're calling you away
I have no right to make you stay

But somewhere down the road
Our roads are gonna cross again
It doesn't really matter when
But somewhere down the road
I know that heart of yours
Will come to see
That you belong to me

Sometimes good-byes are not forever
It doesn't matter if you're gone
I still believe in us together
I understand more than you think I can
You have to go out on your own
So you can find your way back home

The Glass Prison - Dream Theater, written by drummer Mike Portnoy, who's a recovering alcoholic with help from AA.

Part of the song because it's a rather long song -

Cry - desperate crawling on my knees
Begging God to please stop the insanity
Help me - I'm trying to believe
Stop wallowing in my self pity

"We've been waiting for you my friend
The writing's been on the wall
All it takes is a little faith
You know you're the same as us all"

Help me - I can't break out this prison all alone
Save me - I'm drowning and I'm hopeless on my own
Heal me - I can't restore my sanity alone

Enter the door
Desperate
Fighting no more
Help me restore
To my sanity
At this temple of hope

Lose My Soul (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsZAwZi-x5U&feature=related) lyrics
Toby Mac (feat. Kirk Franklin, Mandisa)

Man I wanna tell ya'll something, Man.
Man I'm not gonna let these material thing's, get in my way, ya'll.
I'm trying to get somewhere.
I'm trying to get somewhere,
Thats real and pure and true and eternal.

Father God, I am clay in your hands,
Help me to stay that way through all life's demands,
'Cause they chip and they nag and they pull at me,
And every little thing I make up my mind to be,
Like I'm gonna be a daddy whose in the mix,
And I'm gonna be a husband who stays legit,
And I pray that I'm an artist who rises above,
The road that is wide and filled with self love,
Everything that I see draws me,
Though it's only in You that I can truly see that its a feast for the eyes- a low blow to purpose.
And I'm a little kid at a three ring circus.

I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
Don't wanna walk away, let me hear the people say.
I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
Don't wanna walk away, let me hear the people say.

(Mr. Franklin, Step up to the mic sir)

The paparazzi flashes, and that they think that it's you,
But they don't know that who you are is not what you do,
True, we get it twisted when we peak at the charts,
Yo before we part from the start,
Where's your heart?
You a pimp, hustler?
Tell me what's your title,
America has no more stars, now we call them idols,
You sit idle, While we teach prosperity,
The first thing to prosper should be inside of me.
We're free...
Not because of 22's on the range,
But Christ came in range, we said yes now we changed,
Not the same, even though I made a fall,
Since I got that call, no more Saul, now I'm Paul.
(YEP!)

I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
Don't wanna walk away, let me hear the people say.
I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
Don't wanna walk away, let me hear the people say.
Don't wanna walk away,
Don't wanna walk away

How do I sense the tide that's rising?
De-sensitizing me from living in light of eternity,
How do I sense the tide that's rising?
It's hypnotizing me from living in light of eternity,
How do I sense the tide that's rising?
De-sensitizing me from living in light of eternity.

(Lord what we gon do,We're relying on you,
all eyes are on you Lord,
all eyes are on you, all eyes are on you Jesus.)

I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
Don't wanna walk away, let me hear the people say.
(Don't let me lose my soul, my soul.)
I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
(This is my honesty, Father, won't you cover me.)
I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
(Don't wanna walk away, and all those people say)
I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
(Don't wanna lose, I don't wanna lose my soul.)

Lord forgive us when we get consumed by the things of this world,
That fight for our love, and our passion,
As our eyes are open wide and on you.
Grant us the privilege of your world view,
And may your kingdom be, what wakes us up, and lays us down.

(Hallelujah, Don't wanna lose our soul,
No, Don't wanna lose my soul.)

Hey excuse me,
I'm looking or the after party,
Toby,
Haha, yeah, last door on the left, you'll hear it.
Thanks,
No problem.

Don't let me lose my soul, I never wanna walk away,
I don't wanna lose my soul,
No, no, no.
Don't let me, don't let me, lose my soul,
I don't wanna walk away,
Don't let me walk away,
Na na na na no,
Don't let me lose, my soul,
I'm never gonna walk away.

Pink - Just Like A Pill (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHpK-ejSfBo)

I'm lyin' here on the floor where you left me
I think I took too much
I'm crying here, what have you done?
I thought it would be fun

I can't stay on your life support, there's a
shortage in the switch,
I can't stay on your morphine, cuz its making me
itch
I said I tried to call the nurse again but shes
being a little bitch,
I think I'll get outta here, where I can

Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear you're just like a pill
Instead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me
ill
You keep makin' me ill

I haven't moved from the spot where you left me
This must be a bad trip
All of the other pills, they were different
Maybe I should get some help

I can't stay on your life support, there's a
shortage in the switch,
I can't stay on your morphine, cuz its making me
itch
I said I tried to call the nurse again but shes
being a little bitch,
I think I'll get outta here, where I can

Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear you're just like a pill
Instead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me
ill
You keep makin' me ill

Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear you're just like a pill
Instead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me

You keep makin' me ill

I can't stay on your life support, there's a

I just bought a shirt tonight that has Obama's picture on it and next to that it says "Yes We Can" in big letters. I know this song isn't his campaign song, but it sure could be! Andrea

Connick didn't write it. It was a hit for the Pointer Sisters back in 1973 and it's been covered many times since then. I think I remember it being in a SlimFast commercial a few years ago too.

As for lyrics that mean a lot to me? This:

You're just too good to be true,
Can't take my eyes off you,
You'd be like heaven to touch,
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived,
And I thank God I'm alive,
You're just too good to be true,
Can't take my eyes off you.

Pardon the way that I stare,
There's nothing else to compare,
The sight of you leaves me weak,
There are no words left to speak.
But if you feel like I feel,
Please let me know that it's real,
You're just too good to be true,
Can't take my eyes off you.

I love you baby,
And if it's quite all right,
I need you baby,
To warm the lonely night.
I love you baby,
Trust in me when I say,
Oh pretty baby,
Don't let me down, I pray,
Oh pretty baby,
Now that I found you, stay,
And let me love you, baby,
Let me love you...

You're just too good to be true,
Can't take my eyes off you,
You'd be like heaven to touch,
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived,
And I thank God I'm alive,
You're just too good to be true,
Can't take my eyes off you.

I love you baby,
And if it's quite all right,
I need you baby,
To warm the lonely night.
I love you baby,
Trust in me when I say,
Oh pretty baby,
Don't let me down, I pray,
Oh pretty baby,
Now that I found you, stay,
And let me love you, baby,
Let me love you...

^ I love that song. :D Michelle Pfeiffer did justice to it when she sang it in The Fabulous Baker Boys.

I'll have to YouTube it.

No lie, I truly believe that it's the (or one of the) most romantic songs ever written and performed. It's just...I don't know...it's a song where a person simply tells another that he loves them and it's just great.

I love it, too. Try to track down Donny Hathaway's version of the old standard "For All We Know" (not the Carpenters' song). His version is far and away the best I've ever heard!

For all we know
We may never meet again
Before you go
Make this moment sweet again

We won't say goodnight
Until the last minute
I'll hold out my hand
And my heart will be in it

For all we know
This may only be a dream
We come and we go
Like the ripples of a stream

So love me, love me tonight
tomorrow was made for some
tomorrow may never come
for all we know

I can probably relate to this song more than any other.

Pink Floyd - Keep Talking (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrTyeqoXgzk)

For millions of years mankind lived just like the animals
Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination
We learned to talk

There's a silence surrounding me
I can't seem to think straight
I'll sit in the corner
No one can bother me
I think I should speak now
I can't seem to speak now
My words won't come out right
I feel like I'm drowning
I'm feeling weak now
But I can't show my weakness
I sometimes wonder
Where do we go from here

It doesn't have to be like this
All we need to do is make sure we keep talking

Why won't you talk to me
You never talk to me
What are you thinking
What are you feeling
Why won't you talk to me
You never talk to me
What are you thinking
Where do we go from here

It doesn't have to be like this
All we need to do is make sure we keep talking

Why won't you talk to me
You never talk to me
What are you thinking
What are you feeling
Why won't you talk to me
You never talk to me
What are you thinking
What are you feeling

I feel like I'm drowning
You know I can't breathe now
We're going nowhere
We're going nowhere
