My favorite song is "She's Gonna Fly" by Collin Raye because it reminds me of my Grandma. My favorite lyric from it is the chorus which is:

She's gonna fly
When her time here is through
First she'll have to let go
Of some things she can't use
'Cause people and places
Memories and faces
Are just way too heavy it seems
To carry on angel's wings

Ecstasy - ATB

♪♫
Have you ever noticed
That I’m not acting as I used to do before?
Have you ever wondered
Why I always keep on coming back for more?

You really are my ecstasy
(There can be no other while we still have each other)
My real life fantasy, oh yeah
♫♪

Time, Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon, the whole song

Ticking away the moments
That make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours
In an off-hand way

Kicking around on a piece of ground
In your home town
Waiting for someone or something
To show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine
Staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long
And there is time to kill today

And then the one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun

(Solo)

And you run and you run
To catch up with the sun
But it's sinking

Racing around
To come up behind you again

The sun is the same
In a relative way
But you're older

Shorter of breath
And one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter
Never seem to find the time

Plans that either come to naught
Or half a page of scribbled lines

Hanging on in quiet desperation
Is the English way

The time is gone
The song is over
Thought I'd something more to say

Home
Home again
I like to be here
When I can

When I come home
Cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones
Beside the fire

Far away
Across the field
Tolling on the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spell...

Till I Collapse Lyrics
Eminem


'Cause sometimes you just feel tired
You feel weak and when you feel weak

You feel like you wanna just give up
But you gotta search within you

You gotta find that inner strength
And just pull that **** out of you
And get that motivation to not give up

And not be a quitter
No matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse

There have been quite a few over the years but the one that always hits home is a Dave Mathews Band lyric..

"What I want, is what I've not got but what I need, is all around me..."

"What you feel is what you are and what you are is beautiful."

Tony_Brewski

Life for my life, soul fore my soul
Truth for my truth and heart for my heart
Drive for my drive, match it inside
Fight for this fight and don't you ever never
Give up, give up - you gotta play like a master of chess
It's a long road and it's mental endurance stress test
Sometimes you fight and you win, sometimes you fight and
You lose
It's the fighter in you
Not to lose

For pure slyness, and evocative word pictures, I like 'You're So Vain (I bet you think this song is about you)" by Carly Simon.

"You went up to Saratoga, where your horse probably won.
Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia, to see a total eclipse of the sun.
You're where you should be all the time, and when you're not,
You're with some underworld spy, or the wife of a close friend."

I got something to say
I killed your baby today
And it doesn't matter much to me
As long as it's dead

Well I got something to say
I raped your mother today
And it doesn't matter much to me
As long as she spread

Sweet lovely death
I am waiting for your breath
Come sweet death, one last caress
