Greatest Inspirational Lines In Songs

[Jim Phaserman 0]

Okay, I am listening to a Garth Brooks CD, and I just heard a GREAT line in his song "Blood is thicker than water" the line goes like this....

 

"Blood is thicker than water, but love is thicker than blood. but if Blood is thicker than water, well than wut 'r' we fightin' for?"

[t'mir 0]

There's a line I really like in Jen Knapp's "Hold Me Now"... it goes:

 

 

"...Point your finger and laugh if you choose, to say my beloved is borrowed and used! She is strong enough to stand in my love..."

[Ace 0]

I've always liked this one from Scott Krippayne:

 

"Sometimes he calms the storm, with a wisper "Peace be still". He can settle any sea, but it doesn't mean he will. Sometimes he holds us close, and lets the wind and waves go wild. Sometimes he calms the storm, and other times he calms his child."

were ere u when the world stoped turning

i beleave is one of the best lines in a song period

[cptwright 1]

"restless tonight, because i wasted the light..........if i traded it all,if i gave it all away for one thing, just for one thing, if i sorted it out if i knew all about just one thing wouldnt that be something"

 

that would be from one thing, by finger eleven. its one of the songs that hit me lately. ill have more as time goes

[VaBeachGuy 12]

For me, these lines were inspirational and full of meaning.

And I will always do my duty no matter what the price

I've counted up the cost, I know the sacrifice

Oh, and I don't want to die for you

but if dyin's asked of me

I'll bear that cross with honor

'cause freedom don't come free

 

I'm an American soldier, an American

beside my brothers and my sisters I will proudly take a stand

when liberty's in jeopardy I will always do what's right

I'm out here on the front lines

Sleep in peace tonight

American soldier, I'm an American soldier

I keep listening to Darryl Worley's "Shiloh", and it paints a very real picture of Civil War combat, and has a message about how we should respect those who have fallen for us, and we should also learn from History.

 

'Shiloh' by Darryl Worley

A mist halos the meadow

and a soft wind breathes a whisper through the trees

as I lean against a hickory I close my eyes and I can almost see

the ghostly forms of blue and gray

and i can almost hear the cannons blast

Standing in the presence of the past

 

The first few waves came cheering

fear and hatred came running through their blood

When the day was finally over

those left were wading through a crimson flood

To think I could be right here

in the spot where some young solidier breathed his last

standing in the presence of the past

 

Brother fighting brother

father fighting son

by the time the sun was setting

looked like the south had won

now my mouth's as dry as cotton

and my heart is beating fast

standing in the presence of the past

 

sunrise caught the rebels sleeping

and they woke to hear a yankee bugle blow

bullets flew like angry hornets

till the peach tree blossoms drifted down like snow

it mut have been like hell on earth

what happened here is more than we can grasp

standing in the presence of the past

 

brother fighting brother

father fighting son

by the time the smoke had lifted

they knew the north had won

lord my soul feels empty

as my tears fall on this grass

standing in the presence of the past

 

Brother killing brother

Father slaying son

from the looks of this old graveyard

hell nobody really won

somethings changed inside me

it sure can happen fast

Standing in the presence of the past

 

A mist halos the meadow and a soft wind

breathes a whisper through the trees

When I listen to and read this part of the song...it paints an interesting contrast. something that would normally be considered horrendous and awful(gunfire) creating something many people might consider beautiful (the peach tree blossoms drifting down like snow).

" These wounds wont seem to heal

this pain its just to real

there is just to much that time can not erase"

I dont know why but that part of the song reminds me of my life.

And it sounds like a song for a LOTR music video

Look at those evening shadows

Casting a peaceful light

The sun is disappearing

‘It’s a beautiful sight

Moments caught forever

By the Master’s touch

A lasting reminder to us

 

You only paint the picture once

You only get one chance

Take the time to do your best

While the brush is in your hand

Make sure it’s just right

Before the colors dry

You can’t change it once it’s done

You only paint the picture once

 

Love is the canvas

That’s where it all starts

A lifetime together

Becomes a work of art

Just look what’s been created

Between your heart and mine

Oh I believe that we’re one of a kind

 

You only paint the picture once

You only get one chance

Take the time to do your best

While the brush is in your hand

Make sure it’s just right

Before the colors dry

You can’t change it once it’s done

You only paint the picture once

 

It’s a portrait of life

You can’t live it twice

You only paint the picture once

This day could be the worst one yet

I just won't relax I can't catch my breath

Because I'm sick and tired of you'll be fine

Well how do you know, can you read minds..............

Have you ever felt lost inside so unloved within that you almost die

Have you ever stepped out of the light and realized there's a stranger inside

 

stranger inside

 

 

Cause I found a way to steal the sun from the sky

Long live that day that I decided to fly from the inside......

I can't escape the pain

I can't control the rage

Sometimes I think that I'm gonna go insane

I'm not against what's right

I'm not for what's wrong

I'm just making my way and I'm gone

 

Here's the weight of the world on my shoulders

 

 

fly from the inside

 

 

I lie here alone and wonder why

That I come alive, just before I half to hide

Because I believe I'm losing my nerve

But could I ever do better than this

Because all I ever wanted was a place to call my home

To shelter me when I am there and to miss me when I'm gone

All I ever wanted was a place to call my own

Where stars may dance and sun still shines and the storms feel free to roam

 

all i ever wanted

 

Send a message to the unborn child

Keep your eyes open for a while

In a box high up on the shelf, left for you, no one else

There's a piece of a puzzle known as life

Wrapped in guilt, sealed up tight

 

What ever happened to the young man's heart

Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart

 

 

 

.45

 

ok i know these exerpts from the songs, arent insperational persay. but they help me to know that everyone has crap in life to go through and it could be a whole lot worse, and actually help me to feel better about my life. these by the way are all from shinedown.

Looking back on the memory of

The dance we shared 'neath the stars alone

For a moment all the world was right

How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye

 

And now I'm glad I didn't know

The way it all would end the way it all would go

Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain

But I'd of had to miss the dance

 

Holding you I held everything

For a moment wasn't I a king

But if I'd only known how the king would fall

Hey who's to say you know I might have chanced it all

 

And now I'm glad I didn't know

The way it all would end the way it all would go

Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain

But I'd of had to miss the dance

 

Yes my life is better left to chance

I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance

 

 

The Dance, Garth Brooks

 

Okay a fairly sad song, but it's inspiring to me. It says to live life with gusto and passion. Irrespective of the pain forming bonds will bring.

TAKE THIS WALTZ

 

Click for Spoiler:

BASED ON POEM, BY Frederico Garcia lorca

( Little Viennese Waltz)

Sung by Leonard Cohen '88'

CD- I'm YOUR MAN

 

Now in Vienna there are ten pretty women

There's a shoulder where Death comes to cry

There's a lobby with nine hundred windows

There's a tree where the doves go to die.

There's a piece that was torn from the morning,

And it hangs in the Gallery of Frost

 

Oh My love, Oh my love,

Take this Waltz with the clamp on it's jaws

 

Oh I want you I want you I want you

On a chair with a dead magazine

In the cave at the tip of a Lily

In some hallway where love's never been

On a bed where the moon has been sweating

In a cry filled with footsteps and sand

 

Take this Waltz ..Take it's broken waist in your hand

 

This waltz, this waltz, With it's very own breath of Brandy and Death

Dragging it's tail in the sea

 

There's a concert hall in Vienna, where your mouth's had a

Thousand reviews

There's a bar where the boys have stopped talking

They've been sentenced to Death, by the blues

Ah, but who is it climbs to your picture

With a Garland of freshly cut tears

Take this Waltz, it's been dying for years

 

There's an attic where children are playing

Where I've got to lie down with you soon

In a dream of Hungarian Lanterns

In the mist of some sweet afternoon

And I'll see what you've chained toyour sorrow

All your sheep and your lillies of snow

 

Take this Waltz.. with it's " I'll never forget you, you know"

And I'll dance with you in Vienna

I'll be wearing a river's disguise

The hyacinth wild on my shoulder, my mouth on the dew of your thighs

And I'll bury my soul in a scrapbook, with the photographs there and the moss

And I'll yeild to the flood of your beauty

My cheap violin and my cross

And you'll carry me down on your dancing

To the pools that you lift on your wrist

Oh my love, oh my love

Take this waltz , Its yours now

It's all that there is.

Bysty, this is the CD you asked me about.

[Stelfan 0]

I try to think of this line when I have a lot to do

 

"Slow down, you move to fast. You've got to make the morning last"

 

It's from Paul Simons "59'th street bridge song"..

this song is so true to me. there is so much pain i have felt in my relationship with my wife, and the added pain of the shortlived relationship with angel. but god help me i like to think i wouldnt of changed a thing. the good times will be great memories, and the badtimes. or breakups will be a learning experience. plus as i have learned id rather get hurt taking a chance, than to live a hollow miserable person. i enjoy having feeling and being well i guesss a sap. although sometimes its somewhat frustrating for a long time i couldnt listen to this song without terrible anquish, but now its just a song that helps me remember the lessons in my life. i love it. the song that is.

I want to find some lyrics here...

 

this song is kind of angry, but it is a motivating song for those of us who are in the service.

 

Click for Spoiler:

This ain't no rag it's a flag

And we don't wear it on our heads

It's a symbol of the land where the good guys live

Are you listening to what I said

You're a coward and a fool

And you broke all of the rules

And you wounded our American pride

 

 

And now we're coming with a gun

And we know you're gonna run

But you can't find no place to hide

We're gonna hunt you down like a mad dog hound

Make you pay for the live you stole

We're all through talking and a messing around

And now it's time to rock and roll

 

 

These colors don't run and we're speaking as one

When we say united we stand

When you mess with one, you mess with us all

Every boy, girl, woman and man

You've been acting mighty rash

And talking that trash

Let me give you some advice

You can crawl back in your hole

Like a dirty little mole

 

But now you're gonna pay the price

You might of shot us in the back

Now you have to face the fact

That the big boys' in the game

And the lighening's been flashing

And the thunder's been crashing

And now it's getting ready to rain

 

 

Chorus:

This is the United States of America

The land of the brave and the free

We believe in God and we believe in justice

We believe in liberty

You've been pulling our chain

We should've done something 'bout you a long time ago

But now the flag's flying high and the fur's gonna fly

And soon the whole world's gonna know

 

 

This ain't no rag, it's a flag

Old Glory red, white and blue

The stars and the stripes when it comes to a fight

We can do what we have to do

Our people stand proud

The American crowd is faithful, loyal and tough

We're good as the best and better than the rest

And you're gonna find out soon enough

When you look up in the sky

And you see the eagle fly

You better know he's a heading your way

Cause this ain't no rag it's a flag

And it stands for the USA

USA

USA

USA

 

Repeat Chorus

When ever I need some motivation, I play "Onslaught" by Blues Traveler (from their album "Travelers And Thieves, and it does the trick.

Lies, well they're OK...more elaborate every day

Truth well it's here too...What can you make it do for you?

Greed it's just a drive...Do what you can to stay alive

Peace, it's just a dream...so rock and roll and kick and scream

.

Now won't you tell me if you like what you've just heard?

And if you think the point I'm driving at absurd

Well there's no need to tell me how or tell me why

But I need to know the reason not to try

Cause if you look around you might just feel like me

And you might notice no one was ever really free

And maybe, just maybe for now that's how it's supposed to be

Could be so far we've only earned the right to barely see

.

The poison has infected you...have no fear I'm infected too

War they come and go...no telling where the wind will blow

Pain was always there...sad reminder that you care

Hate, the price you pay...for thinking you got the only way

.

Now won't you tell me if you like what you've just heard?

And if you think the point I'm driving at absurd

Well there's no need to tell me how or tell me why

But I need to know the reason not to try

Cause if you look around you might just feel like me

And you might notice no one was ever really free

And maybe, just maybe for now that's how it's supposed to be

Could be so far we've only earned the right to barely see

Barely see, barely see, barely see, barely see, let's see...

.

For your parents Ellis Island, what had they gone through?

And if you descend from the Mayflower, well they were running too

They were running from England, they were warring with France

Who would conquer Spain given half a chance

But it was the Muslims who had gotten there first

When there wasn't the bloodshed then there was the thirst

And a hate for the Christians, the infiltrators of Rome

You know that once mighty empire who made Africa home

The poor noble Egyptians, oh the hardships they braved

Remembering the good times, with Judea enslaved

And the Israelite nation, the very children of God

Killing Palestine's children, and I'm finding it odd

The Earth, a piece of fruit, don't blame the maggots when they loot

Life's just a game we play, try to live just one more day

Space, our final hope...throw the drowning man a rope

The choice is for us to say, completely change or fade away.

.

Now won't you tell me if you like what you've just heard?

And if you think the point I'm driving at absurd

Well there's no need to tell me how or tell me why

But I need to know the reason not to try

Cause if youlook around you might just feel like me

And you might notice no one was ever really free

And maybe, just maybe for now that's how it's supposed to be

Could be so far we've only earned the right to barely see

.

I really couldn't say for sure

Like everyone else I know

I'm just looking for the cure

A winter's day-

in a deep and dark December

I am alone-

Gazing from my window to the streets below

On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.

 

I am a rock, I am an island.

 

I've built walls,

A fortress deep and mighty

That none may penetrate

I have no need of friendship

friendship causes pain

It's laughter and loving I disdain

 

I am a rock, I am an island

 

Don't talk of love

but I've heard the word before

It's sleeping in my memory

I won't disturb the slumber of the feelings that have died

If I never loved I never would have cried

 

I am a rock, I am an island

 

I have my books

and my poetry to protect me

I am shielded in my armour

Hiding in my room, safe within my womb,

I touch no one and no one touches me.

 

And a rock feels no pain, and an island never cries.

"All On Black"

 

i put it all on black

no color you're all dressed in

and a stab in the back

left you bleeding on the floor

and i'm mourning the death

the recent passing of your insides

i smile in regret

every time i think of how i spoke to you

 

i put it all in back

of my mind where i hold you

i'm just trying to keep track

how far back it really goes

and i'm living in lack

of the blood sent from the heavens

i'm just trying to relax

as a killer's waiting right outside my door

 

what's black and white what's

read all over?

this tired book this

organ donor

 

sweet blasphemy my giving tree

it hasn't rained in years

i bring to you this sacrificial offering of virgin ears

leave it to me i remain free from all the comforts of home

and where that is i'm pleased as piss to say

i'll never really know

 

i put them all in black

the four walls of my bedroom

and i trimmed them in red

peeled your picture off the wall

and i'm living in lack

of the blood sent from your heartbeat

that arrived in your neck

every time i salivated over you

 

what's upside down what's

coated in silver?

this crucifix is

my four leaf clover

 

sweet blasphemy my giving tree

it hasn't rained in years

i bring to you this sacrificial offering of virgin ears

leave it to me i'll remain free from all the comforts of home

and where that is i'm pleased as piss to say

i'll never really know

 

one of these days

it's gonna catch up to you

throwing looks like those around

one of these nights

i promise to you

i'll soon be sleeping sound

as soon as i leave town
