Lines that stay with us from songs we've known and loved:

1. What the head makes cloudy, the heart makes very clear (The Last Worthless Evening, Don Henley)

2. If you want to kiss the sky you got to learn how to kneel
(Bono, U2)

3. The ABC's we all must face, try to keep a little grace.
(Touch of Grey, Grateful Dead)

everybody hurts, take comfort in your friends
everybody hurts sometimes

R E M

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up- Josh Groban


I dont wanna see you ever sad

And everything that Ive got you can have

When its all too much

You need some human touch

To see that its really not so bad

Did you call on every saint you know

But still you feel like youre on your own

Can you see through your tears

I will always be here

And youre not out there all alone

Hold on,till you feel a little stronger

Hold on to me

Hold on,everythings gonna be alright

Just hold on to me tonight

Anything that hurts you,hurts me too

I´m not gonna let your world turn blue

Will you take my hand

And feel how close I am

There aint nothin I won't do for you

I know the world

Can drive you to your knees

But when you need to cry,baby

Cry to me

Hold on- Jamie Walters

Changing from lyrics to music for one post, I love to put on
"What It Is," by Mark Knopfler, on Sailing to Philadelphia, when I need some uplifting background music.

[Reesie]

To keep it simple, I had in mind just for us to list a line or two from a song, but I realize, some songs are not like that; it's the complete song that needs to be listed. So, you don't need to post the complete lyrics, unless you want to.

If you don't want to bother with a link, just put the title and artist so we can read that. I didn't want it to be complicated.
Post as much or as little as you like. We should get quite a mixture of music here; that's what I'm looking forward to seeing.

This is my current favorite song. It's by Josh Groban

You Are Loved (Don't Give Up)"

Don't give up
It's just the weight of the world
When your heart's heavy
I...I will lift it for you

Don't give up
Because you want to be heard
If silence keeps you
I...I will break it for you

Everybody wants to be understood
Well I can hear you
Everybody wants to be loved
Don't give up
Because you are loved

Don't give up
It's just the hurt that you hide
When you're lost inside
I...I will be there to find you

Don't give up
Because you want to burn bright
If darkness blinds you
I...I will shine to guide you

Everybody wants to be understood
Well I can hear you
Everybody wants to be loved
Don't give up
Because you are loved

You are loved
Don't give up
It's just the weight of the world
Don't give up
Every one needs to be heard
You are loved
