I love this song....

I am not a child now.
I can take care of myself.
I mustn't let them down now.
I mustn't let them see me cry.
I'm fine, I'm fine.

I'm to tired to listen.
I'm to old to believe.
All these childish stories.
There is no such thing as faith & trust & pixie dust.

I try but its so hard to believe.
I try but I can't see where you see.
I try, I try, I try.

My whole world is changing.
I don't know where to turn.
I can't leave you waiting.
But I can't stay and watch the city burn.
Ohh watch'it burn.

Cause I try but it's so hard to believe.
I try but I can't see where you see.
I try, I try.

I try and try to understand the distance and between.
The love I feel the things I fear and every single dream.

I can finally see it.
Now I have to believe all those precious stories.
All the world is made of faith and trust and pixie dust.

So I'll try cause I finally believe.
I'll try cause I can see where you see.
I'll try, I'll try
I will try, I'll try to fly.

The Corrs - Baby Be Brave

Maybe deep down inside, you don't believe it
Your wailing wall, it isn't weeping at all
And you're not worthy of adoration
You're scared that somebody somewhere's gonna find
the burst pipe
And as fast as they bow down they'll leave you behind

But baby be brave cause what's the point of it all
What's the point of it all yeah
Baby don't blow it, tell me what's it all for
If you're not terrified to fail
Are you terrified to fail?

Way far down below you don't feel it
Yeah everyone knows but we don't believe it
The pain of a pop star you're breaking my heart

But baby be brave 'cause what's the point of it all
What's the point of it all yeah?
Baby don't blow it, tell me what's it all for
If you're not terrified to fail

(Confide in me, tell your story)
Are you terrified to fail?
(It's your fear that makes you worthy)

I know what you're doing ‘cause
God I've been tempted, you are
Drowning the special to
Immortalize the rise
And what's the point of it all

Baby be brave 'cause what's the point of it all
What's the point of it all yeah?
Baby don't blow it, tell me what's it all for
If you're not terrified to fail

(Confide in me, tell your story)
Are you terrified to fail?
(It's your fear that makes you worthy)
I am terrified to fail
(Confide in me, tell your story)
Are you terrified to fail?
(It's your fear that makes you worthy)

The Corrs - Queen Of Hollywood
She drove a long way through the night
From an urban neighborhood
She left her mother in a fight
For a dream misunderstood
And her friends they talk on corners
They could never comprehend

But there was always something different
In the way she held a stare
And the pictures that she painted
Were of glamour and of flair
And her boyfriend though he loved her
Knew he couldn't quite fulfill
He could never meet her there

She's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there's something more
No matter what it takes, no matter how she breaks
She'll be the Queen of Hollywood

And the cynics they will wonder
What's the difference with this dream
And the dreams of countless others
All believing in TV
They see their handprints in a sidewalk
Flashing cameras on the scene
And a shining limousine

She's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there's something more
No matter what it takes, no matter how she breaks
She'll be the Queen of Hollywood
She's believing in a dream
(Queen of Hollywood)
It's a loaded fantasy, yeah, yeah, yeah...

Now her mother collects cut-outs
And the pictures make her smile
But if she saw behind the curtains
It could only make her cry
She's got hand prints on her body
Sad moonbeams in her eyes
not so innocent a child

She's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there's something more
No matter what it takes no matter how she breaks
She'll be the Queen of Hollywood, (Queen of Hollywood)
No she's never gonna be like the one before
She read it in her stars that there's something more
No matter what it takes and even though she breaks
She'll be the Queen of Hollywood
She's the Queen of Hollywood...
Queen of Hollywood, (Queen of Hollywood) and
Her friends still talk On Corners, (Queen of Hollywood)
Yeah yeah yeah-ie...
She's the Queen of Hollywood...
Queen of Hollywood...

Josh Groban - Never Let Go

I can't understand it
The search for an answer is met with a darker day
And we've been handed these moments forever
But I'm reassured there's another way

You don't have to close your eyes
There is room for love again
Ease the pain to realize all that love can be
Forced apart by time and sand
Take a step and take my hand
And don't let it go
Never let go

Broken, once connected
We were so strong and so blessed in a simple way
So don't let me go it alone

Turn your head up to the sky
Nothing down below but me
Face the truth to realize all that we could be

Torn apart by rage and fear
Hold on to what brought you here
Don't let it go
Never let go

Josh Groban - To Where You Are

Who can say for certain
Maybe you're still here
I feel you all around me
Your memory's so clear

Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You're still an inspiration
Can it be
That you are my
Forever love
And you are watching over me from up above

Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile to know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are

Are you gently sleeping
Here inside my dream
And isn't faith believing
All power can't be seen

As my heart holds you
Just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me everyday
'Cause you are my
Forever love
Watching me from up above

And I believe
That angels breathe
And that love will live on and never leave

Fly me up
To where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile
To know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are

I know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are[/b]

Siren- I love the lyrics that you quoted. What's the Title/Artist/Album?

And since I'm in here, I'll put up some new lyrics...

Shoulder to the wheel
For someone else's selfish gain
Here there is no choosing
Working the clay
Wearing their anger like a ball and chain

Fire in the field
Underneath the blazing sun
But soon the sun was faded
And freedom was a song
I heard them singing when the day was done,
Singing to the holy one

Chorus
Lead me on
Lead me on
To a place where the river runs
Into your keeping, oh
Lead me on
Lead me on
The awaited deliverance
Comforts the seeking... lead on

Waiting for the train
Labelled with a golden star
Heavy hearted boarding
Whispers in the dark
"Where are we going - is it very far?"
Bitter cold terrain
Echoes of a slamming door
In chambers made for sleeping
Forever
Voices like thunder in a mighty roar
Cry to the Lord

Repeat Chorus

Man hurts man
Time and time, time again
And we drown in the wake of our power
Somebody tell me why

Repeat Chorus

Song: Lead Me On
Artist: Amy Grant (Words & Music by Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, Wayne Kirkpatrick)
Album: Lead Me On

-Aaron

Hey Siren, love that Return to Neverland song!

* * *

I've been listening to this one a lot lately. . .

The Power Of Orange Knickers- Tori Amos w/ Damian Rice

The power of orange knickers
The power of orange knickers
The power of orange knickers
Under my petty coat
The power of listening to what
You don't want me to know

Can somebody tell me now who is this terrorist
Those girls that smile kindly then rip your life to pieces?
Can somebody tell me now am I alone with this
This little pill in my hand and with this secret kiss
Am I alone in this...

A matter of complication
When you become a twist
For their latest drink
As they're transitioning

Can somebody tell me now who is this terrorist
This little pill in my hand that keeps the pain laughin'
Can somebody tell me now a way out of this -
That sacred pipe of red stone could blow me out of this kiss
Am I alone in this...

Shame shame time to leave me now
Shame shame you've had your fun
Shame shame for letting me think that I would be the one

Can somebody tell me now who is this terrorist
This little pill in my hand or this secret kiss
Am I alone in this kiss
Am I alone in this kiss

I never liked this apple much
it always seemed too big to touch
I can't remember how I found
my way before she came around

I tell everyone
I smile just because
I've got a city love
I found it in Lydia
And now I can't remember life before her name

She keeps a toothbrush at my place
As if I had the the extra space
She steal my clothes to wear to work
I know- her hairs are on my shirts

I tell everyone
I smile just because
I've got a city love
I found it in Lydia
And I can't remember life before
The day
She called up and came to me
Covered in rain
At dinnertime shadowing
And as her clothes spun, we spooned
And I knew I was through
When I said 'I love you'

Friday evening, we've been drinking
2 AM, I swear I might propose
So we closed the tab
Split a cab
And called each other up when we get home

Falling asleep to the sound
Of sirens

I've got a city love
I found it in Lydia

From the battery
To the gallery
It's the kind of the thing you only see
In scented glossy magazines

And I can't remember life before her name

City Love, John Mayer

Sorry to double post, but here is a song I think every self-respecting American music fan should listen to:

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends

like my fathers come to pass
seven years has gone so fast
wake me up when september ends

here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are

as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when september ends

summer has come and passed
the innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends

ring out the bells again
like we did when spring began
wake me up when september ends

here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are

as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when september ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends

like my father's come to pass
twenty years has gone so fast
wake me up when september ends
wake me up when september ends
wake me up when september ends

As you might have guessed, these are the lyrics to
Wake Me Up When September Ends by Green Day

When Somebody Loves You Back
(K. Gamble - L. Huff)
Sung by Teddy Pendergrass

It's so good lovin' somebody
And that somebody loves you back

To be loved and be loved in return
It's the only thing that my heart desires
Just appreciate the little things I do
Oh, you're the one who's got me inspired
Keep on liftin', liftin' me higher

So good, good lovin' somebody
And that somebody loves you back
It's so good needin' somebody
And that somebody needs you back

We can build a world of love, a life of joy
Make our goal each other's happiness
I will do for you anything that I can
Oh, everyday I wanna do a little more
Do a little more, just a little bit more

It's so good, good lovin' somebody
And that somebody loves you back and that's a fact
It's so good wantin' somebody
And that somebody wants you back

Said it's so good

Oh...ho...

To be loved and be loved in return
It's the only thing that my heart desires
Just appreciate the little things I do
Oh, you're the one who's got me inspired
Keep on liftin', liftin' me higher

So good lovin' somebody
And that somebody loves you back and that's a fact
It's so good needin' somebody
And that somebody needs you back

Said now 70/30
Now 60/40
Talkin' 'bout a 5-/50 love

Said it's so good lovin' somebody
And that somebody loves you back, yeah

Said now 70/30
Now 60/40
Talkin' 'bout a 5-/50 love, yeah

It's so good, good lovin' somebody
And that somebody loves you back, yeah
It's so good, good

(Ad-lib)

I'm so glad that there's you
I've experienced over and over when
I've given 80% and she's given 20%
Now she's givin' 70% and I'm givin' 30
But you just don't know how it feels to have somebody
That you can share your life
Somebody that you don't mind talkin' to
Somebody that you don't mind goin' the middle of the road
I know a lot of guys today they wish they had somebody just like you
I don't know when the last time I told you
But girl, you make me so very happy
I think we've got something that a lot of people don't seem to have
Talkin' 'bout a 50/50 love, yeah

This lyric is dedicated to all Disney fans who already bought the DVD and saw the film of an animated fairy tale.

Cinderella Stay Awhile
Sung by Michael Jackson

Cinderella, stay awhile
You're the one
That I've been lookin' for
Cinderella, when you smile
All around me sunbeams
Start to fall

Midnight is so near
Please don't disappear
Now that you are here
Stay awhile

Cinderella, I just know
That the magic slipper's
Gonna to fit
Cinderella, do not go
You're my princess
I am sure of it

This is love for sure
Love that's sweet and pure
Love that will endure
Stay awhile

When you speak the angels all sing
This is the kind of magic you bring, oh

Cinderella, stay awhile
This is like a fairytale with you
Cinderella, when you smile
All my fairytales are coming true

Well my only fear
Is midnight is so near
Please don't disappear
Stay awhile, oh

(Fairy tales, make-believe and you)
(Fairy tales, make-believe and you)

Cinderella, stay awhile
Don't you go
Oh

According to the lyrics, this tune plays a few bars of the "Inspector Gadget" theme as you listen in-between the song. As I pointed that out, "Inspector Gadget" was a TV show from the 80's, later became a Disney movie with Matthew Broderek and the sequel with French Stewart.

Is just like a dream to me that somehow came true
And I know tomorrow will still be the same
'Cause we've got a life of love that won't ever change and

Everyday love me your own special way
Melt all my heart away with a smile
Take time to tell me you really care
And we'll share tomorrow together

Something I can't explain just the things that you do
And if you get lonely phone me and take
A second to give to me that magic you make and

Loving you is the thing that I plan
For a very long time

Epic - Tsunami Bomb
Taking your time trying to find your way, no knowledge that you've been led astray. They're holding you down with claws of love. Keep you from saying what you're thinking of. What have you done? Your life isn't for you anymore. Where have you gone? Your old self is easy to ignore. You surrendered. Just follow the path they've laid out. You pretend to be happy. I want you back so I'll point out: This is not about our future, it's about what we do now. Nothing is more real than life, and you have the right to be yourself in the crowd. I will miss you. I'm not good enough for you. No spring in your step. Your shining fire has been put out. Sealed yourself in. Nothing can affect your thick skin. I can't get through to you, and now you'll never learn anything new. You look around, creativity dead. You're missing out on the blued and red. Youre fucking blind! your brain has been immersed in whitewash.

Negative One to Ten - Tsunami Bomb
So these girls live on my street, or I guess I live on theirs. They thought I was showing them, but really they made me aware just how momentous music is, and why we should care. Songs stay with you your whole life, remind you of time spent and gone. Carry you through dismal days, and help you to carry on. I owe so many positive times to my favorite songs. It can be more than just sounds and words-it can be something that saves your from yourself, your thoughts, your life, your world. It can be more than a favorite line-it can be something that shapes you when you're young, but gives you freedom at the same time.

This Is Getting Over You - The Alkaline Trio
Today I woke up,
Younger than I've been in years.
Not concerned with what's outside
And peers, I don't have any.
No one is my equal because I'm the king of rain.
Controlling with my moodswings,
Throw a thunderstorm your way, way.
Drowning girls is a game I play.

Today I woke up,
More awake than I have felt in years.
Not concerned with anything, no tears.
Well I'm done with that shit.
No one is your equal because you're the queen of pain.
Controlling with my mood temps,
Staring at my shoes while running away, way.
Drowning myself is a game I play.
Drown myself away,
Drown myself away, away.
Goodbye.
This is getting over you.
This is getting over you.
This is getting over you.
This is getting over you.
This is getting over you (I'm not tired of getting over you).
This is getting over you (I'm not tired of getting over you).
Getting over you (I'm not tired of getting over you).
This is getting over you (I'm not tired of getting over you).
This is getting over you (I'm not tired of getting over you).
Getting over you (I'm not tired of getting over you).
This is getting over you (I'm not tired of getting over you).
This is getting over you.

Resurrecting this thread to post the lyrics to a song I'm listening to on repeat tonight, contemplating its lyrics in various lights...

"Children of the World"
By Amy Grant

Every life, every beating heart
Has a searching soul inside
Ever needing, ever seeking out
The meaning to life

I refuse to believe
That we're only here to live and die
In the futile daze of a faithless haze
Never asking why
Why would I?

When I've felt the hand of eternity
It's a legacy I will leave
I want to leave

Chorus 1:
For the children of the world
Every single little boy and girl
Heaven plants a special seed
And we must have faith for these

I will stand
For the truth I've seen so the truth is seen in me
I will give from, from the source of love
So all that I believe
Is handed down

For the road that's yet to be traveled on
By the ones who will carry on
I'll carry on

Chorus 2:
For the children of the world
Every single little boy and girl
Heaven plants a special seed
And we must have faith for these

Red and yellow, black and white
They are precious in the Father's eyes
Like the Father may we see
That they have a destiny

And give them the light of love to lead
Through the darkness around us now
To a place where hope is found

Chorus 3, 4, 5:
For the children of the world
Every single little boy and girl
Heaven plants a special seed
And we must have faith for these

Red and yellow, black and white
They are precious in the Father's eyes
Like the Father may we see
That they have a destiny

And give them the light of love to lead

For the children of the world
<hr>

-Aaron

Heaven said the promised land
Looks alright from where I stand
'Cause I'm the man on the outside looking in

Waiting on the first step
Show where the key is kept
Point me down the right line because it's time...

To let me in from the cold
Turn my land into gold
Cause there's chill wind blowing in my soul
And I think I'm growing old

Flash the red is wots...uh, the deal
Got to make to the next meal
Try to keep up with the turning of the wheel

Mile after mile
Stone after stone
Turn to speak but you're alone
Million miles from home you're on your own

So let me in from the cold
Turn my land into gold
'Cause there's a chill wind blowing in my soul
And I think I'm growing old

Fly bright by candlelight
Up out of my sight
And if she prefers we will never stir again

Someone said the promised land
And I grabbed it with both hands
Now I'm the man on the inside looking out

Hear me shout 'Come on in!
What's the news, where you been?'
Cause there's no wind left in my soul
And I've grown old

Song Title: Wots... Uh, The Deal
Artist: Pink Floyd
Album: Obscured By Clouds

I got a letter this morning
What do you reckon it read?
It said the gal you love is dead
I got a letter this morning
What do you reckon it read?
Said hurry, hurry
Because the gal you love is dead

Well, I packed up my suitcase
I took off down the road
When I got there she was
Laying on the cooling board
Packed up my suitcase and I took off down the road
When I got there she was a-laying on the cooling board

It looked like ten thousand people standing around the burying ground
I didn't know I loved her 'til they began to let her down
Looked like ten thousand people standing on the burying ground
I didn't know that I loved her 'til they began to let her down

You know it's so hard to love someone that don't love you
Won't get satisfaction
Don't care what you do
So hard to love someone that don't love you
Don't look like satisfaction, and I don't care what you do

Well I got up this morning
The break of day
Just hugging the pillows
Where she used to lay
Got up this morning
Would you believe the break of day
Just hugging the pillow, where my baby used to lay

Song Title: Death Letter
Artist: The White Stripes
Album: De Stijl

Hello
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone at home?

Come on, now
I hear you're feeling down
Well, I can ease your pain
And get you on your feet again

Relax
I'll need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?

[Chorus]
There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain, you would not understand
This is not how I am

[x2]
I... Have become comfortably numb

Okay
Just a little pin prick
There'll be no more....
(AAAAAAAAAAHHH!)
But you may feel a little sick

Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good!
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on it's time to go....

There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown
The dream is gone

And I
Have become
Comfortably numb....

Song Title: Comfortably Numb
Artist: Pink Floyd
Album: The Wall (My absolute favorite of all time)

Cheers,
JM
