Motivating Song Lyrics

AmberMagdalena

I admit. I have what I call "power songs". It's music that gets me hype. From Break ups to work outs to just a night out with the girls.
Usually there are specific lyrics that really hit home for me. Heavy guitar riffs or a good beat help too, but it's mostly those lyrics! What are your favorite song lyrics from your "power songs"?

Here is my favorite:

"I embrace my desire to,
Feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside & weep like a widow
To feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty,
To bathe in the fountain,
To swing on the spiral of our divinity & still be a human"- Tool Laterlaus

I find Hedley's song "It's never too late" very motivating! Good to walk to as well!

I agree which is why I listen to gospel music while working out. I used to NEVER listen to it, this year however it's slowly dominating my ipod almost to where everything else is slowly going away. Lyrics are so key to filling the brain with those positive reflections that help us to move forward.

i have to preface this by saying i'm not a miley cyrus fan BUT....
i really like "the climb"

I can almost see it
That dream I’m dreaming but
There’s a voice inside my head sayin,
You’ll never reach it,
Every step I’m taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

The struggles I’m facing,
The chances I’m taking
Sometimes they might knock me down but
No I’m not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I’m going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on,
cause

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Somebody you're going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It’s all about
It’s all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith
Whoaaa Ohwaoooh

As someone else said, I must preface that I'm not a Kanye West fan, but this song was on a Biggest Loser workout mix that I downloaded.

"That that don't kill me will only make me stronger"

I LOVE THE SONG "I Will Not Bow" by Breaking Benjamin. It's an amazing song to get you pumped up but the lyrics are:


Fall!

Now The dark begins to rise, save your breath it's far from over
Leave the lost and dead behind, nows your chance to run for cover
I don't want to change the world, I just want to leave it colder
Light the fuse and burn it up, take the path that leads to nowhere
All is lost again, but I'm not giving in

I Will Not Bow, I Will Not Break
I Will shut the world away
I will not fall, I will not fade
I will take your breath away

Fall!

Watch the end from dying eyes, now the dark is taking over
Show me where forever dies
Take the fall and run to heaven
All is lost again but I'm not giving in

I will not bow, I will not break
I will shut the world away
I will not fall, I will not fade
I will take your breath away

And I'll survive, paranoid I have lost the will to change
And I am not proud, cold blooded, fake
I will shut the world away

*Yells*

I will not bow, I will not break
I will shut the world away
I will not fall, I will not fade
I will take your breath away

And I'll survive, paranoid
I have lost the will to change and I am not proud, cold blooded, fake
I will shut the world away

Fall!

Songs that motivate me for workouts are usually fast rock songs (Zombie, Linkin Park, etc.)....

But there is a song has always stuck in my head for another reason, several years back I was going through a very rough time personally and these lyrics just hit the right chord...

Jimmy Buffett "Breathe In, Breath Out, Move On" It was written as a Hurricane Katrina song, so most of the lyrics deal with that but a couple of simple lines struck home for me:


:flowerforyou:
According to my watch, the time is now
The past is dead and gone
Don't try to shake it, just nod your head
Breathe in, breathe out, move on

This has been my ringtone since I started this journey. I think I really need to dust it off again because I seem to have lost some of the spirit of it. It is a New Year's song, but I think it fits what I want to feel like all the time. :-) It is by SheDaisy.

"Brand New Year (My Revolution)"

My revolution
Welcome to my revolution
My revolution, my revolution, my revolution, my revolution
My revolution
Yeah, yeah, yeah -

Learning to turn the outside inside out (inside outside inside out)
Having the courage to find what life is all about
Loving so purely can surely melt a frozen heart
Knowing sometimes all over's
The perfect place to start

[Chorus:]
Welcome to my revolution
Lucky you, lucky me
The way we were meant to be
This is my one resolution and I make it with no fear
To live, to love today
'Cause it's a brand new year

Seeing the world through rose-colored eyes
Yeah, this is my one big chance and I'm gonna take it twice
With the past down below, I know love lifted me up here
So I'll take a breath, kiss the sky, toll the bell
'Cause it's a brand new year

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Resiliently reclaiming me
Refining my recovery
Untwist my fate, unlock the gate
Let's make a little noise
'Cause it's a brand new year
Oh, welcome to my revolution

[Second Chorus:]
Welcome to my revolution, baby, yeah
Lucky you, lucky me
The way we were meant to be
This is my one resolution and I make it with no fear
It's never been so clear
Second chance is what got me here
To live, to love today
'Cause it's a brand new year

Lucky you, lucky me
'Cause it's a brand new year
Oh, oh, lucky you, lucky me
'Cause it's a brand new year
Welcome to my revolution
Lucky you, lucky me, yeah, yeah
Welcome to my revolution
Lucky you, lucky me, yeah, yeah
Welcome to my revolution
