OH and if it's not a whole song, you can quote a lyric....

I don't know what mine is yet.... I'm thinking.

I can't just pick one! I do this all the time. :) I'll share just one for now.

This song is great and works SO well, except for the part about being 25. :)

Hurt Before

Music & Lyrics: Andrea Corr

Transcript: www.corrsonline.com

She's a girl in a world, she's moving as fast as she goes

Loves her mum and her dad, the only secure that she knows

But at night, she's alone, she's dreaming of somebody new

Her someone for to hold, she's praying the dream will come true

Show me the way - show me, show me how

Help me be brave - for love

Show me the way - show me, tell me how

What do you say

There's a pain in her heart, she's trying so hard to unwind

Makes her cry in the night, when visions so real make her blind

Wants to break through the the fear

Erasing the scars from within

Start a new kind of being - she's down and she's praying again

Show me the way - show me, show me how

Help me be brave - for love

Show me the way - show me, tell me how

What do you say

You see she's -

Turning the key, unlocking the door

Embracing the rollercoaster world

Stepping outside, with body and soul

Taking whatever future holds

Turning the key, unlocking the door

Embracing the rollercoaster world

Take it in stride, you're just twenty-five

And you know we've all been hurt before

[Violin solo]

You see she's -

Turning the key, unlocking the door

Embracing the rollercoaster world

Stepping outside, with body and soul

Taking whatever future holds

Turning the key, unlocking the door

Embracing the rollercoaster world

Take it in stride, you're just twenty-five

And you know we've all been hurt before

Yeah we've all been hurt before

So you're not alone..., no...

You're not alone...

Send the Pain Below

Chevelle

I like having hurt,

So send the pain below where I need it,

You used to beg me to take care of things,

And smile at the thought of me failing.

But long before, having hurt,

I'd send the pain below,

I'd send the pain below.

Much like suffocating,

Much like suffocating,

Much like suffocating,

I'd send the pain below...

Much like suffocating,

I'd send the pain below...

You used to run me away,

All while laughing.

Then cry about the fact,

'til I returned.

But long before, having hurt,

I'd send the pain below,

I'd send the pain below.

These are my two life defining songs right now which can probably tell you about where I am in my life. Both songs are by Switchfoot. The first one is just saying life is scaring: everyone's looking at you and you screw up a lot, but I dare you to try, to move like those things aren't even there. The second song, which is also sung by many moore but I like switchfoot much better, is saying that from the beginning of when God created you, He put a song inside of you. You have to find that song it live it to the fullest. I'm always asking myself what's my drummer's beat? What's my melody? What are my verses?

Dare you to move

Welcome to the planet

Welcome to existence

Everyone's here

Everyone's here

Everybody's watching you now

Everybody waits for you now

What happens next

What happens next

I dare you to move

I dare you to move

I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor

I dare you to move

I dare you to move

Like today never happened

Today never happened before

Welcome to the fallout

Welcome to resistance

The tension is here

Tension is here

Between who you are and who you could be

Between how it is and how it should be

I dare you to move

I dare you to move

I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor

I dare you to move

I dare you to move

Like today never happened

Today never happened

Maybe redemption has stories to tell

Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell

Where can you run to escape from yourself?

Where you gonna go?

Where you gonna go?

Salvation is here

I dare you to move

I dare you to move

I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor

I dare you to move

I dare you to move

Like today never happened

Today never happened

Today never happened

Today never happened before

Only Hope

There's a song that's inside of my soul

It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again

I'm awake in the infinite cold

But you sing to me over and over and over again

So I lay my head back down

And I lift my hands and pray to be only yours

I pray to be only Yours

I know now you're my only hope

Sing to me of the song of the stars

Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again

When you feel like my dreams are so far

Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again

And I lay my head back down

And I lift my hands and pray to be only yours

I pray to be only yours

I know now you're my only hope

I give you my apathy

I'm giving you all of me

I want your symphony

Singing in all that I am

At the top of my lungs I'm giving it back

And I lay my head back down

And I lift my hands and pray to be only yours

I pray to be only yours

I pray to be only yours

I know now you're my only hope

So there you go!

Hey there, Joyful! lol_grin.gif I love the "Walk to Remember" Soundtrack, too! *chuckles* Our World Youth Day-bound van last year listened to it the entire way from St. Louis to Toronto and back! B)

OK, well BESIDES the best song ever written, "Michelle," by the Beatles in 1965 off their "Rubber Soul" Album....

I just returned from a Steubenville Conference (St. Louis/ Midwest in Springfield, Missouri), and the one song that really stuck out to me was "Enough." While I was singing, I stopped in the middle of the chorus and looked around at the other 2,000-and-something people, and it was almost like God was hitting me upside the head, and asking: "Michelle, My daughter- are you listening to what you are saying to Me? Am I really 'enough' for you right now in your life? What have you been putting before Me?"

Enough

Words and Music by

Chris Tomlin and Louie Giglio

VERSE 1:

You are my supply

My breath of life

Still more amesome than I know

You are my reward

Worth living for

Still more amesome than I know

CHORUS:

All of You is more than enough for

All of me for every thirst and every need

You satisfy me with Your love

And all I have in You is more than enough

VERSE 2:

You’re my sacrifice

Of greatest price

Still more amesome than I know

You’re my coming King

You are everything

Still more amesome than I know

BRIDGE:

More than all I want

More than all I need

You are more than enough for me

More than all I know

More than all I can see

You are more than enough

If you would like to hear the song, CLICK HERE!. Once the page opens, look to the right side, and there will be a purple box that says "Top Ten" on it. This week, it is number 2. Click on the little sign that looks like this---> TT_listen_9.gif (Personally, I right click on the sign, then select "Open in new window."...It's easier, I think. :) ...It worked for me, and I use Microsoft Media Player...not sure about Real Player... ;) ) Sidenote: You may have to turn up your volume. On my computer, I couldn't hear it until I turned up my volume, so be careful! :huh:

void.jpg

Also, "Void" by Matt Maher, has made an impact in my life. I can't find the lyrics, but just watch the video, and it's POWERFUL, man! lol_grin.gif If you have Microsoft Media Player, CLICK HERE! It's all about your "God-shaped hole" in your heart, and how some people try to fill it with attention, cars, pricey dates, "worldly happiness," etc... And in the end, you realize that God is the only one that can fill your "Void." (Can you tell I'm in love with this song?! :lol: It goes along the same theme as "Enough," so it's all good!)

Matt Maher is an Amazing Grammy-Nominated Catholic Singer/Songwriter/Musician, and an amazing man of God!!! lol_grin.gif ... Just a second...let me find one of our pictures. (This is one of my home-made Senior Pictures) I'll "attach" it to this post...*praying that it shows up* (This one was taken at a Notre Dame Conference this past month... lol_grin.gif ... I know some of y'all were there! :) )

I just wanted to say that this is an amesome thread, and I'm excited to learn the other songs that y'all are in love with! lol_grin.gif

Be God's!

-Michelle

EDITED: Sorry, had to convert my picture of Matt and me and then attach it. Please excuse the shine on my face-- :o *laughing* I wasn't wearing any makeup whatsoever. (Hey, it was a retreat! You're not supposted to focus on yourself! ;) )

hmm, there's sooo many things or parts of songs that are my life. "ENough" is a good one!!, umm... I think "Worlds Apart" from Jars of Clay is something definatly descibes my life...

WORLDS APART

i am the only one to blame for this

somehow it all adds up the same

soaring on the wings of selfish pride

i flew too high

and like icarus i collide

with a world i try so hard to leave behind

to rid myself of all but love

to give and die

to turn away and not become

another nail to pierce the skin of one who loves

more deeply than the oceans

more abundant than the tears

of a world embracing every heartache

can i be the one to sacrifice

or grip the spear and watch the blood and water flow

to love you - take my world apart

to need you - i am on my knees

to love you - take my world apart

to need you - broken on my knees

all said and done i stand alone

amongst remains of a life i should not own

it takes all i am to believe

in the mercy that covers me

did you really have to die for me

all i am for all you are

because what i need and what i believe are worlds apart

i look beyond the empty cross

forgetting what my life has cost

and wipe away the crimson stains

and dull the nails that still remain

more and more i need you now

i owe you more each passing hour

the battle between grace and pride

i gave up not so long ago

so steal my heart and take the pain

and wash the feet and cleanse my pride

take the selfish, take the weak

and all the things i cannot hide

take the beauty, take my tears

the sin-soaked heart and make it yours

take my world all apart

take it now, take it now

and serve the ones that I despise

speak the words i can't deny

watch the world i used to love

fall to dust and thrown away

i look beyond the empty cross

forgetting what my life has cost

so wipe away the crimson stains

and dull the nails that still remain

so steal my heart and take the pain

take the selfish, take the weak

and all the things i cannot hide

take the beauty, take my tears

take my world apart, take my world apart

i pray, i pray, i pray

take my world apart

also..."How Beautiful" from Twila Paris, where she says "How Beautiful, is the radiant bride, who waits for her groom, with his light i her eyes. How Beautiful, when humble hearts give, the fruit of pure lives, so that others may live." I only say that is me b/c I can't wait until I get married, it's the most important thing to me. & I have everything planned out, all I need is the groom & his part of the wedding party!!...

Also...."I Can Only Imagine" from Mercy Me

I Can Only Imagine

by Bart Millard

from "Almost There"

I can only imagine

What it will be like

When I walk by Your side

I can only imagine

What my eyes will see

When Your face is before me

I can only imagine

Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel

Will I dance for you Jesus, or in awe of You be still

Will I stand in Your presence, or to my knees will I fall

Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all

I can only imagine

I can only imagine

When that day comes

And I find myself standing in the Son

I can only imagine

When all I will do

Is forever, forever worship You

I can only imagine

repeat chorus

Fighter by Christina Aguilera

When I, thought I knew you

Thinking, that you were true

I guess I, I couldn't trust

'Cause your bluff time is up

'Cause I've had enough

You were, there by my side

Always, down for the ride

But your, joy ride just came down in flames

'Cause your greed sold me out of shame, mmhmm

After all of the stealing and cheating

You probably think that I hold resentment for you

But, uh uh, oh no, you're wrong

'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do

I wouldn't know just how capable I am to pull through

So I wanna say thank you

'Cause it makes me that much stronger

Makes me work a little bit harder

It makes me that much wiser

So thanks for making me a fighter

Made me learn a little bit faster

Made my skin a little bit thicker

Makes me that much smarter

So thanks for making me a fighter

Oh, ohh

Never, saw it coming

All of, your backstabbing

Just so, you could cash in

On a good thing before I realized your game

I heard, you're going around

Playing, the victim now

But don't, even begin

Feeling I'm the one to blame

'Cause you dug your own grave, uh huh

After all of the fights and the lies

Yes you wanted to harm me but that won't work anymore

Uh, no more, oh no, it's over

'Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture

I wouldn't know how to be this way now, and never back down

So I wanna say thank you

'Cause it makes me that much stronger

Makes me work a little bit harder

Makes me that much wiser

So thanks for making me a fighter

Made me learn a little bit faster

Made my skin a little bit thicker

It makes me that much smarter

So thanks for making me a fighter

So yeah, those are my songs...The first one is how I feel most of the time and then the 2nd one is my song to my ex that tore my heart apart...

One of my fav. songs as a kid..and still...

Save the Best for Last

Vanessa Williams

Sometimes the snow comes down in June

Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon

I see the passion in your eyes

Sometimes it's all a big surprise

Cause there was a time when all I did was wish,

You'd tell me this was love

It's not the way I hoped or how I planned

But somehow it's enough

And now we're standing face to face

Isn't this world a crazy place?

Just when I thought a chance had passed

You go and save the best for last

All of the nights you came to me

When some silly girl had set you free

You wondered how you'd make it through

I wondered what was wrong with you

Cause how could you give your love to someone else

And share your dreams with me

Sometimes of everything you're looking for

It's the one thing you can't see

But now we're standing face to face

Isn't this world a crazy place?

Just when I thought a chance had passed

You go and save the best for last

Sometimes of everything you're looking for

It's the one thing you can't see

(instrumental)

Sometimes the snow comes down in June

Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon

Just when I thought a chance had passed

You go and save the best for last

You went and saved the best for last

I also LOVE Piano Man by Billy Joel..but I'll spare ya the lyrics...

Here's another by my FAV. singer/ artist:

Because You Loved Me

Celine Dion

For all those times you stood by me

For all the truth that you made me see

For all the joy you brought to my life

For all the wrong that you made right

For every dream you made come true

For all the love i found in you

I'll be forever thankful baby

You're the one who held me up

Never let me fall

You're the one who saw me through through it all

You were my strength when i was weak

You were my voice when i couldn't speak

You were my eyes when i couldn't see

You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when i couldn't reach

You gave me faith 'coz you believed

I'm everything i am

Because you loved me

You gave me wings and made me fly

You touched my hand i could touch the sky

I lost my faith, you gave it back to me

You said no star was out of reach

You stood by me and i stood tall

I had your love i had it all

I'm grateful for each day you gave me

Maybe i don't know that much

But i know this much is true

I was blessed because i was loved by you

You were my strength when i was weak

You were my voice when i couldn't speak

You were my eyes when i couldn't see

You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when i couldn't reach

You gave me faith 'coz you believed

I'm everything i am

Because you loved me

You were always there for me

The tender wind that carried me

A light in the dark shining your love into my life

You've been my inspiration

Through the lies you were the truth

My world is a better place because of you

You were my strength when i was weak

You were my voice when i couldn't speak

You were my eyes when i couldn't see

You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when i couldn't reach

You gave me faith 'coz you believed

I'm everything i am

Because you loved me

You were my strength when i was weak

You were my voice when i couldn't speak

You were my eyes when i couldn't see

You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when i couldn't reach

You gave me faith 'coz you believed

I'm everything i am

Because you loved me

I'm everything i am

Because you loved me

Sry for the long post....Enjoy!
