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
