My favorite is usually whatever is on the radio or within hearing distance. I heard a musician once say he could hear God in all types of music. I agreed with this because I often use songs as prayer - especially when I'm too emotional for my own words. However, it didn't seem possible to hear God in Polka music, lol. I started listening a little closer, and I suspect he was right.

I was a young girl when this song came out. It's always been my favorite, and brings a smile to my face when I hear it on the radio. It still brings me a little extra courage to keep on keeping on.

"Stand" - Sly and the Family Stone

Stand
In the end you'll still be you
One that's done all the things you set out to do
Stand
There's a cross for you to bear
Things to go through if you're going anywhere
Stand
For the things you know are right
It's the truth that the truth makes them so uptight
Stand
All the things you want are real
You have you to complete and there is no deal
Stand. stand, stand
Stand. stand, stand
Stand
You've been sitting much too long
There's a permanent crease in your right and wrong
Stand
There's a midget standing tall
And the giant beside him about to fall
Stand. stand, stand
Stand. stand, stand
Stand
They will try to make you crawl
And they know what you're saying makes sense and all
Stand
Don't you know that you are free
Well at least in your mind if you want to be

Everybody
Stand, stand, stand
