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
    ♫♪

    :heart:

    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..."

    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
