What song lyrics get to you??? { TOP 3 ;}

Ok, I'll add 3 that really get to me right now.

Melissa Etheridge's I Run for Life. (My mom diagnosed with breast cancer 3 years ago, my stepmother currently undergoing treatment and my sister in law's mom currently undergoing treatment as well)

It's been years since they told her about it
The darkness her body possessed
And the scars are still there in the mirror
Everyday that she gets herself dressed
Though the pain is miles and miles behind her
And the fear is now a docile beast
If you ask her why she is still running
She'll tell you it makes her complete

[Chorus:]
I run for hope
I run to feel
I run for the truth
For all that is real
I run for your mother your sister your wife
I run for you and me my friend I run for life

It's a blur since they told me about it
How the darkness had taken its toll
And they cut into my skin and they cut into my body
But they will never get a piece of my soul
And now I'm still learning the lesson
To waken when I hear the call
And if you ask me why I am still running
I'll tell you I run for us all

[Chorus]

And someday if they tell you about it
If the darkness knocks on your door
Remember her remember me
We will be running as we have before
Running for answers
Running for more


On a lighter note, I really like Natasha Beddingfield's Unwritten

Unwritten
------Natasha Bedingfield

I am unwritten,
Can't read my mind
I'm undefined
I'm just beginning
The pen's in my hand
Ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten ,yeah

Oh, oh

I break tradition
Sometimes my tries
Are outside the lines, oh yeah
We've been conditioned
To not make mistakes
But I can't live that way oh, oh

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips x2 (twice)
drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
drench yourself in words unspoken
Live you life with arms wide open
Today is where you book begins
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten
(YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!)

Also Snow Patrol's Chasing Cars...

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes
They're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things
Will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Sarah's a huge fav around here Derek. Our youngest son was born to her music actually. He was delivered by a midwife and Sarah's CD "Mirrorball" was playing in the background....if I remember it right I believe it was "Building a Mystery" that was playing at the moment of Mikey's birth.

I see a Red Door and I want it painted black-- Paint It Black - Rolling Stones

Not sure of the exact lyrics for the song but "Hurt" by Rapture

And ANYTHING Rob Zombie

Pretty much any Rock, Classic Rock will make me turn it up lol

I cry every time at this song its about a girl that nobody pays attenetion to and she ends up getting beaten to death by abusive parents. :

She walks to school with the lunch she packed
Nobody knows what she's holdin' back
Wearin' the same dress she wore yesterday
She hides the bruises with linen and lace

The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask
Bearing the burden of a secret storm
Sometimes she wishes she was never born

Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where she's loved
Concrete angel

Somebody cries in the middle of the night
The neighbors hear, but they turn out the lights
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
When morning comes it'll be too late

Repeat Chorus

A statue stands in a shaded place
An angel girl with an upturned face
A name is written on a polished rock
A broken heart that the world forgot


and this one about the little boy wanting to buy the shoes for his mom on Christmas. Real tear jerker

It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line
tryin' to buy that last gift or two, not really in the Christmas mood
standing right in front of me was a little boy waiting anxiously
pacing 'round like little boys do
and in his hands he held a pair of shoes

His clothes were worn and old, he was dirty from head to toe
and when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say

Chorus:
Sir, I want to buy these shoes for my mama, please
it's Christmas eve and these shoes are just her size
could you hurry, sir, daddy says there's not much time
you see mom's been sick for quite a while
and I know these shoes would make her smile
and I want her to look beautiful if mama meets Jesus tonight

He counted pennies for what seemed like years
then the cashier said, "son, there's not enough here"
he searched his pockets frantically
then he turned and he looked at me
he said mama made Christmas good at our house
though most years she just did without
tell me sir what am I going to do,
somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes

I just had to help him out and as I laid the money down
I'll never forget the look on his face when he said
mama's gonna look so great

Repeat chorus

Bridge:
I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
as he thanked me and ran out
I knew that god had sent that little boy
to remind me just what Christmas is all about

Repeat chorus

"give me something to believe in" - poison

"if I had to live without you, what kind of life would that be" - I think its faith hill

"our love is like a storybook story" - willy deville (I think thats right)

"I'll never let you go..." - steelheart

I know I have many more, but this is what I came up with off the top of my head
