One of my favourites..and not something heard much..
Yes I use song lyrics to motivate me .....they are part of my success programming...
Here is Kenny Loggins..
Where are the dreams that we once had?
This is the time to bring the back.
What were the promises caught on the tips of our tongues?
Do we forget or forgive?
There's a whole other life waiting to be lived when...
One day we're brave enough
To talk with Conviction of the Heart.
And down your streets I've walked alone,
As if my feet were not my own
Such is the path I chose, doors I have opened and closed
I'm tired of living this life,
Fooling myself, believing we're right, when...
I've never given love
With any Conviction of the Heart
One with the earth, with the sky
One with everything in life
I believe we'll survive
If we only try...
How long must we wait to change
This world bound in chains that we live in
To know what it is to forgive,
And be forgiven?
It's been too many years of taking now.
Isn't it time to stop somehow?
Air that's too angry to breathe, water our children can't drink
You've heard it hundreds of times
You say your aware, believe, and you care, but...
Do you care enough
To talk with Conviction of the Heart?

I awoke last night to the sound of thunder
How far off I sat and wondered
Started humming a song from 1962
Aint it funny how the night moves
When you just dont seem to have as much to lose
Strange how the night moves
With autumn closing in
Seger - 'Night Moves'

Windfall by Son Volt:
May the wind take your troubles away
May the wind take your troubles away
Both feet on the floor, two hands on the wheel,
May the wind take your troubles away
Trying to make it far enough, to the next time zone
Few and far between past the midnight hour
Never feel alone, you're really not alone...
May the wind take your troubles away
May the wind take your troubles away
Both feet on the floor, two hands on the wheel,
May the wind take your troubles away
Trying to make it far enough, to the next time zone
Few and far between past the midnight hour
Never feel alone, you're really not alone...
For Al- a great but oft overlooked Gordon Lightfoot song:
Hi'way Song (I must have travelling on the mind):
Just for now I'd like to rest
In the shade of a maple tree
To the blue Canadian sky
I'd say a prayer for the world out there
Hi'way Song (I must have travelling on the mind):
Just for now I'd like to rest
In the shade of a maple tree
To the blue Canadian sky
I'd say a prayer for the world out there
I'll just let the words speak for themselves......
The Day After Tomorrow - T. Waits
I got your letter today
And I miss you all so much, here
And I can't wait to see you all
And I long for your touch, dear
I still believe that there's gold
At the end of the world
And I'll come home, to Illinois
On the day after tomorrow
It is so hard and it's cold here
And I'm tired of taking orders
And I miss old Rockford town
Up by the Wisconsin border
What I miss, you won't believe,
Shoveling snow and raking leaves
And my plane will touch tomorrow
On the day after tomorrow
I close my eyes every night
And I dream that I can hold you
They fill us full of lies that everyone buys
About what it means to be a soldier
I still don't know how I'm supposed to feel
About all the blood that's been spilled
And my plane, it will touch down
on the day after tomorrow
You can't deny that the other side
They don't want to die any more than we do
What I'm trying to say, is don't they pray
To the same God that we do?
Tell me, how does God choose?
Whose prayers does he refuse?
Who throws the dice, who spins the wheel
On the day after tomorrow?
I'm not fighting for justice
AndI am not fighting for freedom
I am just fighting for my life
And another day in the world here
I just do what I've been told
We're just the gravel on the road
Will God on his throne
Please get me back home
On the day after tomorrow
And the summer, It too will fade
And with it brings the winter's frost, dear
And I know we too are made
Of all the things that we have lost here
I will be twenty-one today
And I've been saving all my pay
And my plane will touch down
On the day after tomorrow
And my plane it will touch down
On the day after tomorrow
Strictly speaking, I think that the lyrics were probably written or co-written by Kathleen Waits-Brennan.

Living Years - Mike & the Mechanics
Just a few of the verses, They're really all great.
Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door
I know that Im a prisoner
To all my father held so dear
I know that Im a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years
I wasnt there that morning
When my father passed away
I didnt get to tell him
All the things I had to say
I think I caught his spirit
Later that same year
Im sure I heard his echo
In my babys new born tears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years
Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
Its too late when we die
To admit we dont see eye to eye

Hey MAx, that is a great song with great lyrics and sung so well. You know it's about Mike Rutherford's relationship to his father who was an officer in the Royal Navy. You can imagine how the relationship gelled: Rock star and Naval Officer in the 60's!!
Well, I dreamed I saw the knights
In armor coming,
Saying something about a queen.
There were peasants singing and
Drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree.
There was a fanfare blowing
To the sun
That was floating on the breeze.
Look at mother nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies.
Look at mother nature on the run
In the nineteen seventies.
I was lying in a burned out basement
With the full moon in my eyes.
After the Gold Rush - Neil Young
I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but what do these lyrics mean????
I was hoping for replacement
When the sun burst thru the sky.
There was a band playing in my head
And I felt like getting high.
I was thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.
Thinking about what a
Friend had said
I was hoping it was a lie.
Well, I dreamed I saw the silver
Space ships flying
In the yellow haze of the sun,
There were children crying
And colors flying
All around the chosen ones.
All in a dream, all in a dream
The loading had begun.
They were flying mother natures
Silver seed to a new home in the sun.
Flying mother natures
Silver seed to a new home.
In armor coming,
Saying something about a queen.
There were peasants singing and
Drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree.
