Ok .. I'm more than a day late and just over fifteen dollars short, but here are a couple of my favorite lyrics:
"I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die."
Johnny Cash; Folsom Prison Blues
==
"If you woke up from your sleep, blood on your hands,
Would you wash the pain away, no one understands,
There must be someone out there who
Can help you breathe again.
Would it ever be enough?"
Def Leppard; Would It Ever Be Enough
==
"There's a man goin' 'round, taking names,
And he decides who to free and who to blame.
Everybody won't be treated all the same.
There'll be a golden ladder, reaching down,
When the man comes around.
"The hairs on your arm will stand up,
At the terror in each sip and in each sup.
Will you partake of that last offered cup,
Or disappear into the potter's ground?
When the man comes around."
Johnny Cash; When The Man Comes Around
==
"She wants someone to call her angel,
Someone to put the light back in her eyes.
She's lookin through the faces and unfamiliary places,
She needes someone to hear her when she cries.
And she says, 'Take me away, then take me farther.
Surround me now and hold, hold, hold me like holy water.'"
She just needs a little help to wash away the pain she's felt.
She wants to feel the healing hands of someone who understands."
Big & Rich; Holy Water
==
"Walking around I hear the sounds of the earth seeking relief,
I'm Trying to find a reason to live but the mindless clutter my path.
Oh these thorns in my side, oh these thorns in my side.
I know I have something free, I have something so alive,
I think they shoot 'cause they want, I think the shoot 'cause they want it."
Creed; Bullets
==
"Hey, all I want is what's real,
Something to touch you can feel,
I hold it close and never let it go.
Say why, why do we live this life
With all this hate inside?
I'll give it away 'cause I don't want it no more.
Please, help me find a place, somewhere far away,
Yes I'll go and you'll never see me again."
Creed; Bullets
==
"Oh the truth of it is, there's a right way to live, and you showed me.
So now, you live on in the words of a song; you're a melody."
Creed; Stand Here With Me
==
"Just when fear blinded me, you taught me to dream.
I'll give you everything I have, and still fall short of what you've done for me.
In this life that I live, I hope I can give love unselfishly.
I've learned that the world is bigger than me,
You're my daily dose of reality."
Creed; Stand Here With Me
